Gage Academy has
done it again – another fantastic Drawing Jam! This was my fourth Jam (see 2014,
2013 and 2012), and it seems to get better and better each year – better organized,
better models and more of everything.
I think I broke last year’s record – 15 sketches instead of
14 (not counting the one-minute poses) – and in less time (I stayed only seven
hours this year compared to last year’s eight). (Why sprint when you can
marathon?)
For the second year, Urban Sketchers Seattle used Drawing Jam as an opportunity for a meetup. Although
models and still lifes aren’t within the Urban Sketchers manifesto, so many other people are participating –
artists, performing musicians, instructors giving demos and more – that there’s
plenty to sketch that would qualify as urban sketching. Unlike previous years,
I spent less time sketching models and more time sketching everyone else this
year, so I’ll post only the posed model sketches today. Stay tuned tomorrow
when I post the urban sketches.

Last I checked the urban sketchers manifesto doesn't define subject matter at all. It only says you have to draw on location and be true to your subject. You've created an amazing series of urban sketches here, Tina :-) --- Larry
ReplyDeleteGreat sketches, Tina! My absolute favorite is the dancer with the fan. You should print that and frame it. The guy with the eye patch and spear is another of yours that I really like.
