My friend and amazing artist Paul Richmond is putting on quite a show this weekend, with a live male figure drawing featuring him and fellow artist Briden Schureren dropping trou for some anatomical inspiration. Whether it’s painting or drawing or even sand sculpture I suppose, viewers are invited to indulge in whatever art form they wish with a live model via Zoom in this unique event. Given the current state of the world, typical live figure drawing is mostly on hold; this posits the socially isolated safety we crave with an intimate technological sitting thanks to cameras and computers. Both Richmond and Schureren will be posing, turning the artist into the figure model and putting a fun, and courageous, twist on how these things are usually done. In such difficult times, this is a way to support a working artist, and if you are struggling yourself there is a sliding payment scale, so contribute what you can afford. Visit Paul’s website here for all the details.
