Art Appears on Frick Collection's Website!by Miriam Schulman
I've always wanted my art in a museum so imagine how thrilled I was when the Frick emailed me to let me know that they were displaying three of my drawings. Well alright, maybe not in their world famous Fifth Avenue museum in New York City, but for a brief time my drawings are on the Frick's website.
I took advantage of the Frick's Sunday Sketch which is free with museum admission on select Sundays at 1pm ( the next one is August 14th) Saavy museum goers also know that the museum is a "pay as you wish" before 1pm on Sundays so starving artists get there just before that. Artists of all backgrounds and abilities meet in the Frick's courtyard to sketch. The museum provides all drawing materials as well as a comfortable portable canvas stool and a drawing board. Beginners shouldn't be intimidated because if you need a teaching artist, well they provide that too.
The theme of this Sunday sketch was "Bellini and Botany" to coordinate with the Giovanni Bellini's St. Francis in the Desert. Be sure to read related blog post
"Bellini and Botany" The docents at the supply table asked if they could scan a few of my drawings. I gave them three to scan while I completed three additional drawings. The Frick only allows charcoal and white chalk so the color pastels were added back in my studio. Check out the completed pastels below and you can get more details as well as decorating inspiration by clicking on any of the captions. Visit the
museum website for more information on any of their lovely educational programs.
