(Sold Out) Portrait and Figure Drawing Session and Competition
On April 27th, 2017 Drawing New York hosted our First Annual Portrait and Figure Drawing Competition.
Over 50 attendees participated, even those that did not submit their work to be judged for prizes.
We gave out over $1000 in awards and prizes. (see below for a list of prizes).
This was a four-hour drawing session with three live models. Attendees ranged from professional artists, serious students and avid amateurs. We believe that having a wide array of skill levels benefited all who attended.
Our judges were Tim O’brien: President of The Society of Illustrators @obrienillustration Robert Pillsbury” President of The Salmagundi Club @robertpillsbury and Edmond Rochat, Teacher at Drawing New York and The Art Students League @edmond_rochat_art .
