Somehow, we are in the last stretch of our year. I'm not sure where the time went, but as Level Three students, we are in our last mentorship cycle.

I asked my fellow classmates to share with me one piece from "the year in mentorship."
It could be the Philadelphia Museum of Art master copy, a Nelson Shanks master copy, or a still life, which was painted alongside a teacher or fellow in their studio.

Take a look at what we have been doing.

June.

The end of a school year and beginning of summer. At Studio Incamminati, we have a new group of talented artists ready to pursue their work beyond our walls.
Four more family members moving on. It is hard to imagine myself being in their position in one short year, as they leave big shoes to fill. Best of luck to all as they embark on the next chapter.

Please feel free to stop by and meet them in person on June 14, 2016, 6-8pm, in a showcase of their work at our studios on 12th and Callowhill streets in Philadelphia. You can see the artwork up close, and find out firsthand about their experiences as a student.

Can't make it? Here is a sampling of their visual theses:

Jon DeMartin workshop highlights

Level Four student

Recently, 16 artists came together for a Figure Drawing workshop with New York artist Jon deMartin.

Jon was a beloved instructor at Studio Incamminati, so I had heard many good things about his class. He did not disappoint.

On day one, we started with short poses: one, five, then 20 minutes, working up to a single pose for the afternoon. Jon graciously answered questions during the breaks, and used various visual examples, and explained materials.

Day two included a demo with the figure in the morning, and we started a new afternoon pose. Please excuse the quality~ I hastily took the pics with my iPhone.

Day three included a morning of short poses, with shorter demos from Jon, including a quick portrait, and one with the model in various difficult gestures. In the afternoon, we continued on the drawing started the previous afternoon.

Many people felt the workshop was not long enough, and I agree.

Interested in a workshop with Jon this summer? Visit his website to see if he has one near you.

Students brought their copies of his book, Drawing Atelier - The Figure: How to Draw in a Classical Style,for him to sign. It's available at
https://www.amazon.com/Drawing-Atelier-Figure-Classical-Style/dp/1440342857

Like many artists, I get books that are highly recommended, and don't have the time to read them. Why? Too many words, and not enough pictures! Jon's book is easy to read, explains the information clearly, and has nice visual examples. It is definitely worth the investment. I can say this because, yes, I did read it. ;)
