Sage modelled for woman-run NYC life drawing group Distanced Drawing several times recently. I couldn’t catch every session, sadly. But-

Omg so good. SO powerful, fearless, mystic.

And is so wonderful at creating a supernatural mood.

And then…the finale. Sage pulled out the casual household scythe. Doesn’t everybody have one?

I was exhausted at that point, it was 4am in Berlin which is my bedtime and I had done another show earlier in a different time zone so I had been drawing for ten hours. I had to give it a try anyway. I feel like I didn’t capture of a fraction of the majesty and terror Sage projected. Glad I tried, though! Previous drawings of Sage with Distanced Drawing are here.

I am so grateful to Sage for her fantastic work and to Distanced Drawing for making it viewable to me in the middle of the night in Berlin!

Drawing Sage Sovereign via Distanced Drawing!

Sage Sovereign for Distanced Drawing by Suzanne Forbes Jan 15 2021 horizontalI have wanted to draw NYC-based fire performer and producer Sage Sovereign for years.

So when she messaged me to let me know she was modelling for woman-run NYC life drawing group Distanced Drawing, I was thrilled!

She had an amazing selection of props and a beautiful set. Plus, she had two cameras running simultaneously, which I have never seen at an online life-drawing session before!

She has a style that is Art Nouveau and very graceful, with visible power. I still long to draw her in person, but this was a wonderful opportunity to begin collaborating and I am so grateful to Sage for her fantastic work and to Distanced Drawing for making it viewable to me in the middle of the night in Berlin!
