Finally did some figure drawing! It has been atleast 3 years, but I plan to start going every week in hopes of getting better.
Figure Drawing 4
Medium: charcoal on newsprint.
This is a 25 minute pose that I did in a figure drawing workshop at William Stout's studio.
Last night we went to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA for one of their Thursday night events. This time, the theme was "La Vie Boheme" to highlight the current exhibit called "Impressionists on the Water" (which I recommend!), but there were lots of things going on there as well, from French Brasserie food and a talk about French cuisine by Adam Gopnik of the New Yorker, as well as an absinthe demonstration and tours of the Impressionist exhibit conducted in French. It was almost time to go home when we finally located one of the activities I was most interested in, drawing from a model in 19th century clothing. Time was short, but I sat down and did this quick sketch with colored pencils. The model was great (a redhead wearing all black and white). It was good practice, and I had a lot of fun.
