After several months off, Atlanta's Dr. Sketchy group had a session on Monday. Dr. Sketchy started in New York and is now a franchised life drawing group in over 50 cities around the world. My good friend Lisa runs the one in Dallas. The tag line is "Art Class Without the Class". Well, that is especially true now with the new Atlanta venue. For the time being, the group is meeting once a month at the world famous dive bar The Clermont Lounge. The Clermont is indeed a strip club, although not the kind you normally think of in Atlanta. Oddly enough, even though I was at a life drawing group at a strip club, I didn't see any nudity that night. The models are typically in costume at a Dr. Sketchy's and apparently, the Clermont is more of a regular dive lounge earlier in the night. There was a great turnout session, and thanks to Lori for organizing the event.
I wasn't really prepared for the low lighting and large crowd, so I experimented around with my watercolors without much success. I do like this drawing. It has a bit of whimsy to it that seems to fit.
