New Classical School and Work

Have made a new discovery down on lower Manhattan...
even made a new friend. (Who looks like he is trying to make his escape...sorry David)


It is the New York Academy of Art !  Just took an amazing workshop by former medical illustrator and NYAA professor, Roberto Osti.

(forgive the poor photo quality- taken off my phone in my tiny walk up apartment)


Don't these look like notes from a med student?


I felt like I was in med school for a bit...the information was coming so fast!  


I now completely get the old joke about doctors' sloppy handwriting!


But studying that and after some gesture warm ups...


enabled me to do this...




and this....



Actually Mr Osti attended medical school while training as a medical illustrator and it definitely showed in his approach and work!  

NYAA is a definite gem for those who want to learn how to draw paint and sculpt in the classical tradition!
