On March 16 all five participating artists drew from the model in a Live Drawing session. From the curator’s statement: The 8th Annual Life-Live assembles five amazing practitioners of life drawing. Arc Gallery will be exhibiting their work in the Project Gallery. On Saturday, March 16th, the artists will be showcasing their skills “live” in figure drawing sessions open to the public in the main gallery. The gestural drawings will be ripped from their sketchbooks & displayed where they will be immediately for sale at $100 each. The remaining drawings are still available for purchase in the Gallery until the show comes down. The photos at the top of this page, taken by Peggy, show the two models, Titiana and Titine, in the clothed warm-up poses.

Here are photos and some of my drawings from the “Live Drawing” session on March 16:
