A Friday of painting, life drawing and beer.
August 19 Painting and Life Drawing
With all the special drawing sessions, it feels like a while since I've been to a regular life drawing session! We started off with six gesture drawings to determine our long pose: I got two drawings finished during the long pose. The curly hair was really difficult to work with, but it was still...

July 15 – Goth Night
Last Friday, Jankura Artspace hosted a special goth themed drawing session. Naturally, drawing on black paper seemed like a good idea. At the time.

Life Drawing, June 3 2016
Another Friday, another life drawing at Jankura Artspace! This time we had a young, male model. My gesture drawings weren't strong, but can't win them every day.
