May. 10, 2013 - Jun. 7, 2013: Lopez Artist Guild Art Show

Cold Air Balloon

The Lopez Artist Guild Members' Art Show features Prints and Paintings by Jonelle Johnson and Wooden Sculptural Pieces by TJ Anderson.. The show opens May 10th and will run through June 7th, 2013. An area that Jonelle is exploring involves juxtaposing unrelated subject matters which are compartmentalized images of boats, birds, botanicals and figures. She loves when disparate images come together to make a cohesive composition, but leave some questions about relationships. TJ has title his part of this exhibit, "Pieces of Broken Dreams" a rare opportunity to see what can go wrong while creating a thin walled hollow vessel.

Life Drawing with Models

Life Drawing on Lopez Island

A new drawing group, led by Rita O’Boyle, Steve Hill and Jonelle Johnson, has formed to start regular drawing sessions from the human figure. These sessions are now scheduled for every other Sunday, at the Lopez Island Golf Club, where privacy window covers, good lighting, a warm room, plus lots of tables and chairs give us a great venue to work. Members of LAG are invited to participate, along with any other serious artists who would like to draw from life.

The first session starts this coming Sunday, January 13, with doors opening at 12:30 p.m. The first pose series starts promptly at 1:00 p.m. and the sessions will end at 3:30 p.m.

The doors will be locked by 1:00 p.m., so be sure to arrive early enough to be inside the building and set-up. There will also be room to set-up easels, so allow yourself time for all of that and to get your boards, paper, drawing tools, etc., ready to go. Since we are paying the models by the session and renting space, timeliness is a must.

We will begin with short 1 minute poses (for quick gesture drawings and to loosen-up) then 10 and 20 minute poses. Five minute breaks will allow everyone to get better acquainted, look at each others’ work (learn new techniques!) and give the models a rest period between poses.

Absolutely no photography or video will be allowed during these sessions.

Our costs (rent and model fees) are $120 per session, so that will be the guideline for how payments are made by all participants. CASH ONLY – please bring smaller bills, in order to make easy change.

Estimated cost will be anywhere from $10 -$15 per session, per person, depending upon how many people show-up. Our goal is to have at least ten and hopefully fifteen artists on a regular basis.

We plan to run these sessions through May, then break for summer and resume in mid-September. A similar life-drawing session has been on-going in Anacortes, since the late 1960’s!

We have lots of very active artists here in the islands and will be inviting any from other islands, who can make the Sunday sessions.

Hope to see you this coming Sunday!
