Sunday Portrait Session
Time for a three hour session! I decided to start with my current standard of ball point pen, water color pencil and brush pen: I also decided to try some actual water color: I used a water color brush pen. No dipping for water, just squeeze! So far I'm loving it! Keep arting my friends!

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.
