Life Drawing
Live figure sketching with models holding poses from 1 minute to 30 minutes. A weekly infusion of line weights, experimentation and proportion fixing, done on a variety of stock from lightweight newsprint to watercolour paper. Akin to keeping the ear and hand limber by doing scales on the piano, this keeps the eye and hand limber - with happy accidents along the way.
