Some of our member artists at work in the world of art
World-renowned artist Richard Scott discusses his painting
Kelly Borsheim gets a classical drawing of a plaster casting just right
Elena Roche wins a well-deserved grand prize
Nicholas St.John Rosse throws himself into painting a monumental mural of The Last Supper for St. Paul's The Apostle Catholic Church in his home county of Cornwall, England
Susan Cornelis beams with justified pride in front of her wonderful figurative abstract Lady Of Whispers
Figure-Drawing League members work at their art until they are absolutely exhausted! Ron Sanders won all sorts of awards and prizes for this wonderful triple-self-portrait painting
Kristina Laurendi Havens begins a splendid new painting
Figure-Drawing League members are philosophical. David M. Stallings believes, "The world is full of harsh, loud vulgarity. I want to bring forth a soft, quiet beauty." And, true to his word, David does just that with his paintings and drawings. . . .
Figure-Drawing League members travel the world looking for great art. Here, Kelly Borsheim soaks up some inspiration from the Old Master sculptors in Italy
Figure-Drawing League members can also be versatile. Colin Page enjoys plein-air painting beautiful Maine landscapes
Kelly Borsheim works on her magnificent painting of Icarus
Figure-Drawing League artists do noble deeds. Rod Lamkey generously contributes portrait paintings to The Faces of the Fallen memorial at Arlington National Cemetery
Who may join:
Membership in the Figure-Drawing League is potentially open to anyone,
novice or experienced, amateur or professional,
who draws or paints the human figure in any two-dimensional medium (except photography), in any style.
How it works:
I will visit your website and choose a cross-section of your figure art.
(Of course, the art must be original, not a copy of anyone's art without their permission.)
I'll link them into this website page so they appear automatically, along with your name and website address.
(If you don't have your own website but would like to join us anyway, you'd be very welcome -- email me and we can probably work out some simple solution.)
Our mutual benefit:
We all informally agree to list, fairly prominently, on our own websites, a link to the Figure-Drawing League here -- or even better -- our fellow members' website addresses and information. (Having more links makes search engines more likely to pick up your own website.)
If we all help and promote and support each other, much like the old drawing leagues of a hundred years ago, we can all prosper.
