Here’s another drawing from the model. This time it’s done with ink and brush. ~Despina

View post →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 →On Memorial Day, people who have the day off do what they love to do in their free time- eat, drink and be with friends. Although I like to do this at times, my preferred way of relaxing is to draw from the model. Great way to spend a day. Can’t wait to do it […]
View post →I love elephants. I think they’re cool. I made this drawing/picture a while ago. I was inspired by being at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. After I took the Kilimanjaro Safari ride in Harambe Village and saw the elephants hanging out by the baobab tree I made a few inspired drawings. Just thinking about the relationship of […]
View post →Spring is here in NYC, and that means Union Square is hopping. Made this quick drawing while waiting to meet the students of my last Pratt Location Drawing class this semester. What a great group, I was sorry to see the class end. Posted by Veronica
View post →I was looking through some of my older notebooks and I came across this drawing I made of two kinda whacky ladies at Epcot  in the Chinese Pavilion. God I love how amazing and different people can be. I really love to “people watch!” Definitely one of my favorite things to do in life! Margaret […]

View post →Aaahhh…..Kika the Beautiful! A wonderful model that we have been drawing for many years, incredible lady to draw and converse with while she is modeling! She’s so culturally oriented that her conversations as well as her “costumes” are pretty global and mythical. As I said, aaaaahhhhh, lovely! Thanks, Kika! Margaret Hurst

View post →Took the opportunity the other day to draw some of my fellow E-train riders. The woman on the right was very suspicious of me…she didn’t seem sure of what I was doing, but she knew she didn’t like it! The lady on the left was engrossed with her smart phone…similar to the woman in Margaret’s […]
View post →This scene cracked me up! Two commuters, I believe they were friends, were on the bus going uptown. She was directing her conversation to him and he was plugged into his iphone, completely oblivious to her conversation! Wait, you have to be exchanging words and thoughts to be having a conversation, right? So I guess […]

View post →I love spending time in the studio drawing from the model. To just focus on design, line, marks, color, proportion; and play around with different ways of approaching a drawing; without any obligation to anyone, is PURE BLISS! If I do manage to get to heaven, hope so, I think there will be a big […]

View post →I found another drawing of the model from a great drawing session with some of the members of studio 1482. As I always say, you can’t beat a wonderful day of drawing in a room full of positive vibes! You can give me that any day of the year!!! Cheers! Margaret Hurst
