Restoring Lifedrawing and Printmaking for Artists at the Rogue Gallery

Dear Fellow Artists,

I am on a mission to recreate the Lifedrawing Group and the Printmaking Group for artists at the Rogue Gallery.  Brook Nuckles Gentekos and I have met and we’d like to know whether you are interested.

This is my initial fact-finding on who might want to draw and print in a studio setting, which I would facilitate. I’d like to know if you would be interested in a Lifedrawing group with models every Sunday from 4 to 7 pm.  Poses would be determined in a democratic process by those present, and would probably resemble the previous schedule with warm-up drawings then 10, 20 and 40 minute poses. Longer poses could be negotiated by those attending.  The cost for members would be $10 per session, $12 for non-members.  Adults only.

Also I am gathering information in order to recreate a facilitated (not instructed) Printmaking Studio time.  RGAC could accommodate

Morandi: Lines of Poetry

Laura Cumming previews the exhibition Morandi: Works on Paper at the Estorick Collection, London, on view from January 16 – April 7, 2013.

Cumming writes that Morandi “is not known for his lines. Rather the opposite: in the hazy world of his painted still lifes, everything appears muzzy and soft. The famous objects appearing on the miniature stage of his table – the bottles, bowls, decanters and jugs – do so in something as hazy as limelight. You would not expect to look deep into these masterpieces of 20th-century art and see a sharp edge, an outline or anything as concise as a dot… The lines build up in meshes and weaves, steady, patient and strikingly judicious. It’s as if he daren’t rush it – this is an etching after all, where one false mark can lead to endless problems. But going through the show, you see that Morandi’s graphic gifts are so subtle he is able to get over the finest variations of atmosphere, tone and light just through infinitely small variations in the direction of the crosshatchings. It’s like a slight change of breeze, shifting the mood and the weather.”
