Let's skip the gestures

This is the first sketch of the evening.  I really wanted to start with basic shapes that evolved and made for strong shading.  I like some of the individual elements and it made for a good start to the night.

partial Britain

From the archives.  New stuff tonight.  Wow, a week off of drawing seems like forever.

Au revoir, Sara

At least until she models for us again.  This was my favorite sketch of the night.  I have a fondness for unfinished work.  It leaves a lot to the imagination of the viewer and forces the eyes to the parts that the artist (in this case, me) feels are most important.

Stretch

Classic pose.  I don't think I wasted it.

Continuing with Sara

From the Halloween session.  Sara in her kitty persona.

Taking a long weekend

I'll be back Monday.  Too... much... turkey!

Just lines

It's always fascinating what just a few lines can become.

Simple in five

I like the form and energy of this.  Something appeals to me about work that is just a matter of getting one's bearings.  This one almost breathes for me.

A little late today

Life got in the way of getting this post up at the normal time.

Back to work... for one week at least


T'is the season of breaking up the evenings.  With Thanksgiving next week we'll be out of the loop for a couple of weeks.  How inconvenient that this holiday falls on a Thursday.  Maybe we can get Congress to move it to a Monday (three day weekend, anyone?)  Anyhow, here are the gesture drawings from last night.

Forearm Shivver

Another simple study of an ordinary limb.  Sometimes that's all that's needed.

Never forget

A time to remember those that fought and are fighting for us and our freedoms.  Thank you to all the veterans and their families that also sacrificed.

Off to Art for the Ages

I'll be going into the vault for the next weeks images since I won't be able to draw tonight.  Sigh...  Here is the last one from the latest session.

Across her knee...

Just wanted to do a study in form and shadow.  It was fun.

On to some sketches

A little tentative with the charcoal to start with but I like the delicate nature of this drawing.  I seem to be approaching a lot of my other art in much the same manner.  Momentary diversion or evolution?  Time will tell.

Relaxed

Lot's of fun shapes to work with.  It makes for some intriguing compositional choices.  I think I get some pretty nice studies out of Britain.
