Here is a very creative photograph representing the beautiful shades of the Fall season. I've been meaning to take pix of the fall leaf color changes, and this picture has summed it all up for me :) Enjoy!

Model Drawing class 2

This model was a bit easier to draw than the last one. The most difficult part of this model was her face. Thankfully I have a lot of experience with faces so with time and erasing, I was able to get her down pretty close to the real thing.

Another challenge was to include the entire background housing the model figure in the complete drawing within the 1,2, 8,20 min drawing intervals.

Hans Hoffman Inspiration Quote

"A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist's world."

This beautiful quote sums it all up--the reason I love to sketch an draw, because it is the way I can let myself out without being bothered in a sense. I can simply let myself out with a pencil and what's on my imagination at the moment rather than fiddle with words that, for the most part, end up being too contraversial to write!

Drawing that I identify this quote with:

Female Model Drawing - Fig Drawing Class (nude)

Today we had our first model to draw in several different poses. We were to draw her against a colorful backdrop of drapery and furniture for different sets of time each pose. Some of these came out very three-dimensional! Also most of them are unfinished.
