The Ryder Studio -- Summer 2019

I am taking the 2 week figure drawing workshop at the Ryder Studio in Santa Fe (I had also taken the same drawing workshop in 2017) :





The final drawing altered in AI,
and a bit of post production in Photoshop


Both of the above drawings are posted on Instagram.

medium surface,
clipped to a similar sized foamboard for support


Mars Staedtler pencils,
2B to 6B at the very least,
and 150 to 220 sandpaper for fine tip sharpening


kneaded eraser,

Anthony Ryder sharpens the pencil to a long, fine point --
and usually holds the pencil from the back end, 
allowing for a light touch, and longer sweeping lines

Anthony Ryder started the long demo, which he finished at the end of the two week session, on June 21st:

During the workshop, three other academic drawing ateliers came up:


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.
