Graphaids 2nd Annual Show Opening Party

People Sketchers,  A Modern Day Artist Salon

Artists throughout  history have gathered together to draw and paintfor centuries like the french impressionists of Paris and the artists of Barcelonaduring the time of Picaso. They have gathered to nurture one another and to capture and sharethe drawing trends of the times.

People Sketchers is a modern day version of those past dynamic groups. The art group has been meeting for over 28 years and is still going strong at the Hillside Center for the Arts in Thousand Oaks, CA on Thursdays from 10am-1pm.

Since it is an open on going class, artists seeking to draw the human figure come to draw and share their work and ideas. The group of artists keep changing with the passage of time and some amazing artists have walked through the doors. Artists like Professor and Animator Sheldon Borenstein who runs the Sheldon Academy of the Arts in Oak Park; Stephen Silver, character designer of Kim Possible; Helane Freeman, who is the artist for such shows as Disney's Hanna Montana, The Suite Life, and illustrator of the California Raison LPs; and Sheila Fein, local painter, Fantasy Pop Artist, graphic designer, private instructor, whose painting "Transition" of Pres. Bill Clinton resides in his presidential library.
