Dr Sketchys xxx-mas Session 12/20/09

Christmas time is here! and the Jolly Ol' Dr Sketchy was making a list, checking it twice and deciding who has been naughty and nice. When he got to the name of burlesque beauty Diletta Delight he knew she was the naughtiest of them all!

This month Dr Sketchys Anti Art School Nashville presents Diletta Delight as she poses using Shibari.

Shibari is the beauty of tight bondage. It is a Japanese artistic style of sexual bondage. The tying of rope into intricate patterns and asymmetrical positions makes the model the canvas and the rope being the paint and brush.

Sunday Dec 20th
6-10pm

The Art Train - figure drawing sessions

http://www.thearttrain.blogspot.com

The Art Train

Self-directed and Instructional Art

Initially, we will be offering portraiture and clothed figure meetings, with a nude figure drawing session to be added later at another venue. Watch the blog for updates.



- Cost: $8.00 per session. Money collected goes to paying the model, the A/C, rent incurred, and for snacks. Any surplus goes to equipment and a slush fund for less populated nights.

- Time: Every Tuesday night from 6:30 - 9:30 pm. We'll post a holiday schedule sometime in the near future.

- Location: Woodland Presbyterian Church, near the intersection of Gallatin Road, North 11th Street, and Gartland Av. The address of the church is 211 North 11th Street. Here's a link to Google Maps. The entrance is at the rear of the church, upstairs. Follow the signs.

- Bring someone along! Come early… the doors open at about 6:15. Pay and sign-in on entry. Help set up and then claim your spot. The model starts promptly at 6:30 pm. A reminder: take care not to block your neighbor's view. Stay until closing… At 9:30 pm we begin cleaning and packing up. If everyone helps, we can finish by 9:45. Come and go when you like. One fee covers whatever part of the night you attend. Work on whatever you wish. This is a self-instructional group, but there are other educational opportunities available. Feel free to ask either Nick or Pat for details.

- Recording devices such as cameras, cam recorders, or phones are not permitted.
- Quiet talk is permitted but please be respectful of your neighbors.

We will try to provide a diverse pool of models. We will alternate randomly model genders. If you know of any good models, or someone who is interested in modeling, please contact us.

Help us make figure drawing a satisfying experience. If you have any questions, suggestions, or problems, please contact us,

Walking in a Weenie Wonderland

Our Model for December is : The owner of East Nashville's I Dream of Weenie & Burlesque Superstar - Monique Honeybush.

How is Dr. Sketchy's different from a normal life drawing class?

In normal life classes, silent students sit in a silent room and draw a bored, oft-uninteresting model. In Dr. Sketchy's we've got bodacious burlesque queens as models. We've got ridiculous art contests (best incorporation of a woodland animal? Best imagined costume?), good music and flashy prizes. We've got a selection of posh beverages alcoholic and not available to buy. At Dr. Sketchy's, we don't care if you picked up a pad yesterday or 50 years ago. Come to drink or to draw. We're happy to have you.

What mediums can I use?

All dry mediums are okay, as are dip pens and neat watercolor sets. Oil paints, messy mediums and stinky mediums are not okay. Sharpen your pencils over the garbage can. Please don't cause a mess - you will be spanked!

Are there easels? Tables? Sketchpads?

The 5 Spot has table seating. All seating is available first come, first serve. We try to bring sketchpads and pencils for drop-ins, but no guarantees. We don't supply easels.

The point is that this isn't your typical life drawing class. Here, the drawing sessions are about opening your mind, pushing the envelope, encompassing the model's personality and uniqueness, funny contests, and having a fun time. Dr Sketchy's is open for all skill levels! Bring you pad, bring your pencil.. let's draw!!!!
