The Drawing Workshop is Saved
The Drawing Workshop-click to see story aired on Chicago Tonight 8.22.2013
Thanks to a group of artists* drawing together to preserve a Chicago Legacy-The Drawing Workshop was brought to the attention of Bruce Robbins, founder of Lillstreet and this valuable art institution was saved. After 40 years George Soto’s “The Drawing Workshop” will continue under Lillstreet after August. For more information email here: thedrawingworkshop@lillstreet.com
Founded by George Sotos over forty years ago at the landmarked Tree Studios building in Chicago, The Drawing Workshop is a large art studio (or atelier) at 4011 N. Ravenswood, Chicago, IL. It is near the Brown Line El stop at Montrose and the Metra station at Lawrence.
The Drawing Workshop is open to everyone. For a small studio/model fee, those who love drawing from life and learning a “visual vocabulary” may participate in weekly sessions. These sessions meet the needs of professional working artists and serious amateur artists who receive critiques and personalized instruction.

Sumi-e informs my painting; I begin with the meditative process, stretching to inhabit my subject matter and leaving the mark on paper with my impression. It is a lovely way to create.
Madeleine Stanley-Jossem revealed painting as meditation to me. The sumi-e tradition of Asian ink painting from teacher to student moves in a continuum, with no end to the journey for truth. In sumi-e, the brush reveals your truth. The process is important. I learned hand to hand by observing her gracefully sway with her brush, dipping into her soul and tracing the ink like a gentle breath of life over delicate rice paper. Enjoy the discovery and come with me on my journey…
