water study & photocrawl
Anne & I were thinking of expanding our photoday into a photocrawl. In the same vein as the sketchcrawl, but not all day long (since mid-day can be bad light). We'd meet up at a location and then photograph for a couple of hours…then eat and chat. Allow ourselves to be braver by photographing together.
Our plan is Coney Island on October 21.
Meet early and photograph until lunch.
Then we can go out again and photograph or call it a day.
If you want to play along send me an email…wendyATgreengirlartDOTcom.
Coney Island's season ends in October…so it should be slightly ghost town.
Any kind of camera - digital, polaroid, SLR, point & shoot…whatever you love best.
On another separate note…my water study…I sort of liked doing the study…do other artists do color studies, or layout studies?

Oh and Nanette Lepore was last night…this turned out beautifully.
Tonight, the last two shows Milly & Anna Sui.

Cool! This painting is starting to look amazing. It’s going to be so good! Beautiful backdrop for Nanette Lapore. (But I will never forget sweating over that vacuum with you. That’s all I ever think of now when I hear that name!)

sigh. torture. i so want to do the photo crawl… esp. w/ you lovlies…
artists do studies ALL the time! i’ll try and think of some specific examples… off the top of my head claus oldenburg and christo always do drawings for their sculptures/installs…. i’ll try and think of some painters….

Wish I could join you all for the photo crawl!!
As to the colour studies, I do them all the time. And I’m always planning out a composition or doing preparatory drawings - they are crucial.

That was meant to be from me. Gracia and I are on the one computer and we slip up all the time - it’s been a looong day!
