I used my left hand to make the drawing of this model. The reason this is significant is because, you guessed it, I’m right handed. When I make my students draw with their “left” hands in class I call it their “ungiven” hand. Once in awhile a student is left handed and so I don’t […]

View post →I recently went to draw at the Plaza Hotel in NYC. Very beautiful area with rich history, beautiful structures and some of the best people watching.

View post →I do believe it! I do believe it’s true! The Penguins at the Central Park Zoo are mesmerizing! They are so much fun to watch and draw. They never stay still for a moment.

View post →One week after Hurricane Sandy invaded New York I took my Dalvero class down to the World Trade Center. We arrived just in time to witness a very personal small ceremony of relatives of some victims of the 9/11 attacks. People were tying yellow ribbons around the lower branches of the Callery Pear Tree that […]
