Figure Drawing

SUNDAYS Beginning SEP 20 | 4PM-6PM
Join us for Sunday drop-in sessions led by Mi Ok Song, focusing on drawing the human figure.  Each session begins with a number of warm up poses, followed by increasing longer poses culminating in twenty minute poses. 
 
Whether you’re working to sharpen your observational skills or deepen your understanding of figure drawing fundamentals, Figure Drawing offers a rare chance to slow down, look closely, and go out on a limb. All skill levels are welcome, including beginner, intermediate & advanced. Please join us for a dynamic, informative, engaging & mostly fun learning experience.
 
This creative event is sponsored in part thanks to the generous sponsorship of Clements’ Marketplace, the Town of Portsmouth and the Portsmouth Arts Guild community event sponsors.

Mi Ok Song

Post-pandemic, I have continued to participate in figure drawing, always seeking new approaches to drawing the human figure, particularly hands & feet.  I believe that drawing the human figure is the most difficult subject matter & challenge myself with drawing only in pens—colored, black, white, gray & wash.  I frequently draw on gray paper, white Bristol Board & white watercolor paper.

Within the last few years, I have been incorporating my Korean cultural identity & adoption-related imagery into my drawings.  I am encouraged by seeing more diversity of artists in RI.  I am grateful that Angell Street Galleries represents more multicultural inclusivity.

For me, drawing is the adventure, the journey & the destination.  Joan Miro says, “Drawing is like taking a line out for a walk.”  With each drawing, I take the line out for a walk & see where it leads me.

I hope that you, the viewer will experience the adventure, the journey & the destination in my drawings.

Thank you,

Mi Ok Song
