Wonderful weekend at the BAYarts Artistic by Nature Plein Air Festival, September 15-17, 2023, Bay Village, Ohio, painting outdoors in great weather and a beautiful location on the BAYarts campus and in the Huntington Reservation Metroparks.

Artists Drawing Artists

By Janet Dodrill

I am becoming a fan of the 15-minute portrait in some of the online drawing groups that I participate in. The fun part about it is that we are drawing the other artists, each other. Here are examples of some of my artist portraits done in the past few months. Additionally, I have included a list of selected Instagram profiles that offer drawing each other, from 2 to 15 minutes, or longer.

In Honor of Women, Suze Orman

By Janet Dodrill

Glad to be accepted into the art exhibit, In Honor of Women, art inspired by women, at Stella’s Art Gallery, 38033 Euclid Avenue, Willoughby, OH 44094, (440) 266-9111, StellasArtGallery.com. Juror: Cathee Thomas. Reception and awards, March 10, 2023, 7-9pm, exhibit runs through April 8, 2023.

My painting, Ode to Suze, acrylic on canvas, wood, 12 x 12 inches, honors Suze Orman, successful author and personal finance expert.

I started listening to Suze Orman’s Women and Money podcast at the start of the pandemic on my walks, which has empowered me to learn and understand more about finances, and to gain confidence in my abilities to make my own financial choices. She has helped countless individuals in this area.

Artists Draw Artists in Online Charity Fundraiser

By Janet Dodrill

After participating in several online drawing groups with other artists where we sketch from paid life models, it has also become popular for artists to sketch other artists in organized sessions. Many are called Draw Eachother, where people pose for 15 minutes for a portrait.

I participated in one on November 29, 2022 called, Draw Me Draw You, with the Scottish Borders Life Drawing Club (@scottishborderslifedrawingclub on Instagram), with proceeds going to Unicef to help children in the Ukraine. And, I was one of eight artists chosen to pose for a portrait, aside from drawing too. It was a lot of fun posing and seeing the results. Additionally, I got to meet and draw several other artists.

Here are a few of the fabulous portraits drawn of me by other talented artists from the fundraiser, showing a variety of styles and artistic approaches.
