River

Life Drawing plus Artrage. 3.9.16

Hand

At Waterfall Arts doing a hand study. I did both but liked this one best. Messed with it some more in Artrage. 

Exit

I started going to a new group that meets on Thursday nights to do portrait painting. It's 3 hours of one pose and we can take pictures so that, if we want, we can work on it in our own studios. Then the model comes back for a second week and takes the same pose so that we can continue working. I spent 5 and a half hours on this portrait in my huge Moleskine sketch book. I don't usually spend that much time on a portrait. It will be interesting for me to see how the portraits from this group develop.

Week 1 and 2 - Amanda.

Portrait in watercolor and pencil. 11x16.

River at 8 Months

In Life Drawing it is unusual to have the opportunity to draw a pregnant woman - especially at 8 months.But the stars aligned and it happened on Wednesday night right here in Camden, Maine. This was the last pose of the night - about 20 minutes.

At Waterfall Arts in Belfast this morning.

Blue Joni

From a dream. But it was less about shading, which I did, and more about line quality. I just grabbed my tablet and started drawing when I awoke. It's from a Picasso Blue period drawing but Joni instead of the couple.
