Friday's model

Life drawing on friday. These are 3 minute, maybe a couple of 5 minute. I included some that I like for the light that his arm cast. Seeing all these, I see that the model repeated the same arm position, but he is a good model. Stabilo on 16 field animation paper.

My palette

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. I definately will be doing more smaller watercolors, but instead of filling sketchbooks, I want to devote my time to larger watercolors that have some meaning (if only to me). I still have four pages left in weather journal, and am trying to be motivated to finish that. Jana, here is my palette. It's a cheap plastic one about 12x10". I do not squeeze out a standard palette each time (I don't know what that is). I just squeeze out paint as I need it. I do not rinse away old paint unless it's really dusty and crumbly, or if I need that space for a new color. ( I'm basically messy and/or lazy). I always keep my colors in these places, since I am very used to them that way. When I'm working on a large piece, I will mix some color up in one of those small containers that you put salsa or radishes in at Mexican take out restaurants.

Late april weather

I have four pages left in this sketchbook (Hand Book Journal). I'll probably not start another weather journal.

Drawing

Three minute studies. Stabilo on animation paper.
Like I've said before, muscular men are difficult for me to draw. Where was everybody? Only a couple of us showed up to draw.

Some weather pages

I really don't have time for the weather journal lately, so Secret Agent, M. Smith, drew himself napping on my sofa, March 15.
A quick sketch on a road trip.

a few weeks worth of life drawing

These two images are from several weeks ago. A very muscular model whom I find difficult to draw. (Not his fault, he's a great model, I just have difficulty getting buffness on paper)

These are the most recent drawings of Richard, one of my favorite models who is tall and lanky and can really twist.

some march weather

I have some life drawing to load up, it seems whenever I try to download some images, blogger isn't working. This is a test.
