Branch Blog - Lethbridge, Alberta
Bring a beret and your jazz hands!
A lovely afternoon of drawing at the Owl Acoustic Lounge before hitting the the Lethbridge Art Crawl that evening!
Our model, Clair de la Lune, is presenting an afternoon of Fosse Jazz. Bob Fosse was an American choreographer who was highly influential to the jazz dance style. He was very simplistic yet powerful in his staging and movement. He used a cool, jazz sensibility in his choreography, yet it was burlesque in nature and sleek by choice with pelvic movement and heavy leans. Fosse Jazz has engaging poses, angles and positions that suit the portrait artist greatly.
We’re also going to try out the Parisian method of life drawing whereas we start
This was overheard from our Magician Model: Russian Roulette with a broken bottle and paper bags, floating masks, swallowing and regurgitating razors, producing silks...got a lot of things up my sleeve for Dr. Sketchys... Assisted by the lovely and talented Roberto Cannessa, Mistress of Mystery... classy and sassy...
Today, the Lethbridge Branch is getting all Mysteriouso and Magickally with Frater Tham and his assistant, Roberto. We have teamed up with the Southern Alberta Art Gallery as part of their Happy Hour series to bring you this incredible act for your viewing and drawing pleasure. If you are a member of the SAAG, admission is free, non-members $5! A total steal! We'll have our usual drawing contests
Once again, we're attempting to draw outside in the gorgeous prairie landscape of Alberta with 5 beautiful Circus models!
Once again, the weather has plummeted to 5 degrees Celsius with freezing rain possibly forecasted for Saturday, the 18th!
Before you all start making jokes about Igloos, know that this weather is due to strange icelandic volcano gods and is totally unseasonable. Usually, the Albertan fall is a beautifully warm and sunny period of harvest. Rolling wheat and safflower fields, wandering buffalo and migrating birds. We have no desire to freeze our models to death. We like them. Truly, we do! Thank you in advance Tanya Zee, Prairie Dawn, Marie Helene, Mmmelanie and Beth
