Kathy Paul Portrait of a Watering Can 19.5 x 19.5″ Charcoal on Watercolor Paper
One year ago in March, to protect our students and teachers from a new coronavirus, the Seattle Artist League moved our classes online. The virus was declared a national emergency, and we went into quarantine. We have now been in quarantine for thirteen months.
Through this year, we have met each other online to draw, paint, print, and share community. In a time of hardship and isolation, it was good to meet and make work together. New teachers and students – now free to teach and take classes anywhere in the world – came to join us. In the last year, the League has grown in numbers, and our artistic voice as a school has evolved.
This collection of artworks has been grouped with no association of genre, medium, artist, or online class. They have been selected and placed here so that they can complement each other, just as we hang a gallery wall for one of our all-inclusive Big League Anniversary shows.
This is one in a series of posts featuring artworks produced through this pandemic. In this terrible year, we have made some good artworks. More to come!

“Drawings from Composition and Form class. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring Drawing and learning to fill a whole page with an image that created a dynamic energy that only used the model as reference point, I felt that nothing else was needed in any of these images and that there is enough information in each of these pieces for them to feel completed.”
