Heather 1 and 2

Today was the first time I have attended a life drawing class in a long while.

It was good to be back and sketch using a live model, but I need to go more often as I can see I am sadly out of practice. I think I will also need to attend a few of the portrait classes as well.

One of the nice things about the morning class at KAGS is that there are the three minute warm up gesture sketches that lead into the ten minute poses. It is a wonderful exercise.

Then with the long pose you have the choice of either doing a lot of detail work on a single painting or after the break at the halfway point you can change your location and do the pose from a different angle.

The sketches shown here are of a couple of ones I did in the series of ten minute poses of today's session with Heather who has been used as a model for a number of years. I am sure that there will be more images of Heather in the future.

The pictures shown here are all 9" x 12” original graphite pencil drawings and are available matted and shrink wrapped for $50.00 each.

Thank you for looking at my artwork.
