Portrait Drawing
Group
The
Island Art Association, Portrait Drawing Group was created and has been
operated by Paul Massing since 1993. It is open to anyone who prefers
making art inspired from a live model. No instruction is offered so that
the participants can work at their personal level of experience. The models
are individuals selected from the Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island
community. A varied selection of models are chosen from high school age
students to elderly individuals. They dress in the clothes or costumes of
their choice.
The workshop season runs from September
to June. It usually takes place on Tuesday nights from 7 to 9pm (Various
Poses) (Fee - $5.00) and has one session on the third Saturday of the month
at 9:30 am to 12:00 (Long Pose) (Fee - $5.00).

“The Off the Wall Show”
On a Saturday evening in June, an exhibit
of the artist’s work for the season is held from five to eight PM. The art
work is displayed in “studio style”. Some drawings and paintings are
framed, but most are unframed, taped to the walls or pinned to display
screens. The one evening exhibit is entitled “The Off the Wall Show”. The
public who attend meet and greet the artists and the models. The artwork is
inexpensively priced. Attendance has always been “wall to wall” for the
eighteen years of existence.
The pictures
are of the working
artists and the models which characterize the spirit of the workshop.
