I took a week-long figure drawing workshop in August. This was a very intense experience and was made more so by the fact I was class registrar and monitor and floor sweeper. The teacher was Steve Ohlrich who also teaches at various locations in the Chicago area including the School of Representational Art.
Allan was a very popular model for drawing classes in the Chicago area. He was our model in Richard Halstead's class in December, 2003. Allan passed away in November, 2004.
Following are his obituaries from the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times.
Once again I studied portrait drawing with Richard Halstead during the Fall of 2004. It continues to be a wonderful experience and I look forward to going to class every Saturday ... even as it takes a bus and two el trains to get there.
Our first model in the Fall was John, the same model we drew in September, 2003. Unfortunately, I was not able to finish my drawing of John so have nothing to show for September!
