Back to School: A Forrestall Family Figure Drawing Session



This week some of my family went back to school! To brush up on their figure drawing and enjoy some fam time (we all really LOVE to be together) my dad, Tom Forrestall, my sister Renee (who teaches anatomy at NSCAD) and my brother Frank, who owns an animation studio went to a regular weekly Monday night faculty figure drawing session at the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design on October 26th.  The figure drawing sessions are organized by a faculty member for other faculty and board members, and she charges $10 per person to pay for the models.  Renee got to work using water soluble oil pastels, Frank chose water soluble drawing pencils for his figure interpretations and dad worked in pen and ink. Dad's drawing of multiple figures is actually the same model, seen from many angles. During one pose, dad sketched the model, then moved to another area of the room and sketched the model again on the same piece of paper and then moved again. They did some beautiful work don't you think?
