Life Drawing Open Studio at OSA

Life Drawing Open Studio at OSA
Fridays, 10 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., downstairs studio
$15 per session

Model this week: Jennifer
There is nothing like working from a live model to strengthen your figure drawing or painting skills.  When you practice regularly,  the knowledge and understanding you gain informs all of your other work, whether or not you end up with a finished piece.

Work on the whole figure, focus on problem areas, or do a portrait if you prefer.  Bring your own art materials; easels, benches, and tables are provided. 

This is a drop-in, uninstructed group working from unclothed models.  All skill levels welcome. 

For more information, please contact:

Free Demonstration at OSA!

St. John by Lorraine Bushek 

First Thursday Dec. 1

Writing Icons in egg tempera and gold leaf

Demo Begins @ 7pm at OSA Upstairs Studio

Writing Icons in egg tempera and gold leaf

OSA members Kris Kuester and Lorraine Bushek will talk about the their experience of "writing" an icon in the Byzantine tradition.  Both took an intensive week long session on Writing Icons at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. They will talk about the egg tempera and gold leaf process.  Also will demonstrate how egg tempera is made.

They will do this from scratch using imported pigments.  Lorraine will demonstrate how to lay down gold leaf.... however, she admits she is not an expert!  Several icons will be on display; and hopefully others who took the course at Trinity will be present.
