Joy, pencil on paper |
Last Saturday I headed over to the City Arts Gallery for their Saturday with Models drawing sessions. The adventure started with running to catch the City bus, then a 45 minute ride (including transfering buses), then another run to the gallery as I had gotten lost and was going to be late. Phew! I made it before everything got started.
We began with 15 minute sketches and ended with 30 minutes sketches over the course of 4 hours. I hope to make it there again.
I'll be doing a sumi ink and watercolor nude figure painting soon based on this drawing.

The 15 minute sketches were a challenge for me.
Eons ago at art school we sometimes started with 15 second sketches to warm up. It is a very liberating experience.
