CINCINNATI ART CLUB LECTURE DEMO
Friday January 19, 2007
1021 Parkside Place, Cincinnati, Ohio


“…Marlene Steele stepped forward with a vibrant and fascinating demonstration of figure drawing.
Marlene states, “the beauty of the human form is a time-honored challenge and presents an especially unique opportunity in working with the live model. I practice the timed croqui technique to facilitate the natural gesture in my figure drawings. I often work through the roster of poses fully realizing that there is no loss in the repetition of the exercise. As each sheet repeats the motif there is a new search for the dominate mass or a directional line more informed. …I aspire toward combining skills of observation with personal terms of expression. There are no shortcuts to the plateau of achievement and there is much insight to be gained in the process of seeing for oneself.”

Quoted from the club newsletter. “Dragonfly” March 2007
