The first round of auditions for Visual SOA Visual Artists is happening Saturday, March 9. We are going to insist that everyone use the supplies we provide while creating their live still life drawing. For those of you practicing, you might want to start working with a 2H, HB, and 4B pencil with an eraser and single blending stump. I'm also posting a couple of photos that will give you an idea of what our still life stations will consist of: We love seeing how potential future students approach the chromed tea kettle. Each station will also have an art mannequin, geometric form, transparent interesting glass, a shell, some marbles, flowers or plant, and an interesting white object. When looking at these images we realized we need some texture on the base (aka "floor") so we're currently peeling off the skin of corrugated cardboard in order to expose the ribs. Please understand that there's also a possibility that we might change any object you see in these photos (with the exception of the chrome kettles and mannequins). We look forward to seeing everyone's creations in the near future, and suggest that you practice drawing for 30 minutes every day!
