[Anthis]

Hi guys,

Many of the workshops appear to be fully booked. They're going with a "one person per workshop" policy allowing for more people to participate.
Managed to get a spot on Sunday (15.00 to 16.30 PM, model drawing with Cor Vrolijk).

[ashess]

Bit last minute, but managed to get a spot fot the 15:00 a clock sunday too. Yaa! Life drawing class! Ill be the woman with red short hair if ya wanna meet, anthis!

[Kapri]

Hi all,

I was planning to visit the Body Worlds exhibition (zuidas, Amsterdam) anyways and I figured it should be an interesting opportunity for some anatomy sketching.

As a precaution, I went there to do some research first. We are allowed to sketch (no photography allowed). It is not too dark inside, according the the employees who helped me. In fact, they also told me they had just finished negotiating a similar trip for the Rietveld Academie.

I have not set a specific date, but should be available on most days. Perhaps a weekday to prevent the big crowds?
Anyone interested can come along!

[ashess]

Till how long have we got for this? I want to go; depends a bit on the date and all.

[Anthis]

Until April 22nd.
Just checking if more people want to join, then we can pick a day!

[ashess]

I can do wednesdays. usually

[Kapri]

I can pretty much do any work day (taking a day off).

[Anthis]

Any day is fine with me. Next Wednesday? (21th of march)

[ashess]

awesome; asked by bro to babysit wed. morning. he'll give me an answer friday. how about 9?

[Kapri]

21st is fine with me. I also just found out that Wackers is offering free classes and demo's on saturday 24th, monday 26th and wednesday 28th.

I'll be there on saturday as that's the day I'm taking my class. I would advice anyone interested in figurative art education to come.

Edit: 9 in the morning is fine.

[Thomas Veil]

[Kapri]

[Silverbleed]

Hello!
I am new here! The meet ups sound very exciting but most of all useful to improve my skills. I decided this year I'm officially going to college for illustration, so I want to put full focus on art after exams. It feels kind of weird to be posting here between such masters, but I thought I'd give it a try.

[Kapri]

Hey Silverbleed, you're welcome to come along to the sketchmeet. It's also advisable to create a sketchbook thread so you have a place to post the results and receive feedback.

[Anthis]

I'll be waiting at the EXPO Zuidas entrance, 9.00 AM, next Wednesday (21th).

Also going to see if I can grab hold of some of those workshop tickets. Looks great!

[ashess]

yaaa! will be there @ 9! CY!

[Kapri]

I learned allot at the expo today. Ashess & Anthis: thx for a great time.

More result in my sketchbook.

[ashess]

indeed, so did I! thanks Anthis for the great idea, thanks Kapri for being there too!
I think I wrote down the most important things I learned in my <a href="http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=3411550&postcount=526">SB</a> so hopefully I wont forget ^^

[Anthis]

Agreed, was a great trip! Posted the sketches in my sketchbook as well.

Also, I'll be attending one of the free classes offered by the Wackers Academy (as suggested by Kapri a few posts back). I'm joining the model/portrait drawing course, 14.00 to 17.00 PM on Wednesday the 28th.

[Sushy]

[PGC]

[ashess]

Every last Wednesday of the month is when they work on 2 long poses instead of multiple shorter ones.

It's always a blast drawing with the oldies. Youngest except for me is somewhere in his 50s, average are in their 70s .

[ashess]

a, well I think ill be there ^^

[Anthis]

PGC; Yes there is! Hop on if you want (and if you happen to be around!). Wackers workshop was an unfamiliar but great experience, there's charcoal portrait in my SB.

ashess; Think I might be able to make it, not sure though.

Kapri; Not sure on which day this message will arrive.
I'll try to be there tomorrow (11th) as well!
