Wednesday Night Drawing 4 Charcoal
I had to miss the last of the four sessions for this pose so I was not able to study the light effect as fully as I would have liked to.

-----Biography----- Aaron Seckman is an Illinois native who was born in the town of Rushville in 1976. His first experience of passion for art came when as a very young child his mother showed him, by example, how to draw a lion from her imagination. From here was born his obsession with “how to draw”. Thus followed much scrap paper, colored markers, crayons and the ever ubiquitous number 2 pencil. His confidence grew by winning his kindergarten class’s poster drawing contest and by offers, by a sure to be future art dealer classmate, to purchase his drawings of monster-trucks. Entering middle school, Aaron found a new love of drawing his friend’s portraits while riding the bus home from school. These experiences created a new appreciation for drawing “from life”, but it was not until enrolling at Illinois Central College in East Peoria, IL. in 1997, that he was introduced to figure drawing in a structured setting. It was here that Aaron realized that studying visible forms was the most rewarding aspect of his obsession with drawing and painting. With this discovery, confidence born from progress in his studies, and the perception/belief that a university art degree had little to do with learning to draw or paint visual reality, Mr. Seckman switched his major to sound recording and thus received his Bachelor’s degree from Columbia College Chicago in 2003. In 2005, Aaron was awakened to the fact that his passion would not take a back-seat to any occupation, and he re-dedicated his efforts to fulfill his potential as a visual artist. It was then that he began focused study of oil painting and drawing and became a member of the Palette and Chisel Academy of Art, practicing during open studio sessions several times a week until moving to New York City. In New York, Aaron has continued his studies by enrolling at the Grand Central Academy of Art, taking Richard Piloco's “Painted Sketch” class since March of 2008 and Dan Thompson's drawing class since November 2008. His goal is to become a full-time artist.
