$30 - 9x12" original watercolour painting on 90lb paper.

Today's life model was full of energy when posing for short poses. I think I captured his spark in this charcoal drawing as he whizzed around from pose to pose. Then I added splashes of turquoise, purple and red.

Happy Canada Day!

I've discovered that flag studies are just as challenging, and fun, as figure studies. I drew these from the window of a second floor coffee shop. Happy Canada Day!

same dude, different pose

I'm getting lots of questions about life drawing, so next session I'll take some pictures of my set up and the studio! 

This painting was a 20 minute pose which I drew with 6B pencil then painted with watercolour during the session. I do not change or add anything once I am home. The direct painting approach I take (completed in one sitting) means, it is what it is!
