What we’re about
Drawing Brooklyn is a community of over 5000 members who love to draw. It is FREE to become a member of this group. This group is a part of The Drawing New York community.
Drawing Brooklyn helps people make "real and tangible progress" with their drawings, whether they are absolute beginners, intermediate sketchers, or professional artists.
We meet several times a week to draw from a live model. We have both instructed and uninstructed classes.
Drawing Brooklyn hosts full-day workshops with exceptional drawing and painting teachers, presenting artist demonstrations and drawing competitions.
Drawing Brooklyn also creates original content for museums and cultural institutions in New York City, including The Morgan Library, The Museum of the City of New York, and The Museum of Arts and Design.
We hope this group provides a place to practice your drawing and to learn about exciting drawing sessions and exhibitions throughout New York.
Artist and organizer Simon Levenson teaches oil painting at The Art Students League and is a drawing instructor at, The Morgan Library and Museum, The Museum of The City of New York and The National Arts Club. You can learn more about him at his website.

•OnlineDrawing With Ballpoint Pen with Jonathan Aller
Online5 attendees from 4 groupsRSVP HERE FOR THIS FOUR-SESSION ONLINE COURSE
Begins October 11th!
This course shows you how to start with a gesture and hold on to the life of the drawing up to the refined, completed stages. We will discuss values, pressure control, gestures, comparative measuring, and textures.
Jonathan Aller holds a BFA from Ringling College of Art and Design and an MFA from Minneapolis College of Art and Design. He has trained in Florence, Italy, at the Angel Academy of Art, learning the techniques of the Masters in drawing and painting.
Jonathan's approach to drawing emphasizes the fundamentals of gesture, value, and form. He believes that mastering these core principles with simple tools like ballpoint pen creates a strong foundation for all artistic endeavors.
Through his teaching, Jonathan demonstrates how to capture the essence and life of a subject from the initial gesture through to refined completion, focusing on the critical skills of observation, measurement, and mark-making that every artist needs to develop.
