and usually holds the pencil from the back end,
allowing for a light touch, and longer sweeping lines

(missing, Celeste Ryder, instructor at the Ryder Studio)
Anthony Ryder studied with Ted Seth Jacobs at the Art Student's League in New York City.
During the workshop, three other academic drawing ateliers came up:
- New York Academy of Art
- Grand Central Atelier (NYC)
- Gage Academy (Seattle)
I really enjoyed both the summer figure drawing workshops I took at the Ryder Studio in Santa Fe (2017 and 2019). The instruction is very concrete, more so that anything I got in college. Moreover, I enjoy the multi-days poses -- rarely do I get to struggle with a drawing for more than 3 hours.
