ARTWORK BY FAATMA BE ONÉ
For Sketchy: Dedicated to the Art of the Sketch, we’re inviting members of the ASLD community to share works that celebrate figure drawing in all forms: gesture drawings, drawings of the human form in any of its various shapes and postures using any drawing media. Give us your short pose, your long pose…give us your quick and loosely drawn works. Give us your texture, your shapes, your tonal gradation. Give us your contours, your monochrome, your brightly colored figures! While there is an emphasis on figure drawings, this exhibit also welcomes works of still life, landscape, abstract, elaborate doodles, and creative study.
Submissions for this exhibit are now closed. We look forward to seeing you at the opening reception!
