Life drawing with charcoal.

At the SAKB in Amstelveen I followed the workshop: Life drawing with charcoal, which was held from  26th until 29th August 2011, during 4 afternoons.

The teacher during this workshop was: Willeke Frima.
As the group was small, everyone got plenty of guidance and explanation.
There were several sessions, where the model posed in different ways. The sessions varied in time and so we learned different ways to draw the model.
Also thanks to Helena Both, who has posed for us during these 4 afternoons, we had a wonderfull time.

Workshop: To draw the movement of two dancers.

On Saturday June 25th 2011 Edgar Jansen had organized a workshop:
To draw the movement of two dancers.
It was at the location of the SAKB (Stichting Amstelveense Kunstbelangen).

As always, Edgar had provided two splendid models.

The two dancers, named Federica Dauri and Stefano Taiuti, were both from Italy. They are in The Netherlands for about one year to increase their knowledge and skill of dance.




 
From left to right: Edgar, some students, Stefano and Federica.



Professional and full of passion they performed their dances for us.

Now and then we were so fascinated by the performance of Stefano and Federica, that we almost forgot to be creative ourselfs and to draw their movements on paper.












It has been a very succesfull workshop that I highly recommend.

A big thank you goes to the photographer, Joop van Klaveren, for the beautiful pictures he made, by which I can make you part of this event.
