Well into the drawing session the model was quite relaxed - almost pensive.
I always try to capture the specificity of the moment, after all, thats what I think life is made of.."moments".

Life Drawing

Back at the Figure Drawing, We start with one minute, then two minute poses', then five, ten, twenty,ending with a longest pose of thirty minutesThis one was from one of the ten minute ones.  Progress is a little at a time.   14x17 Graphite

Ok, so its not quite a figure model,but hey look at those - those curves !

Now for "serious " art speak....  I carefully chose this select  bone from my collection

for its interesting shape, and warm notes of color randomly appearing on its surfaces.

Next I chose an analagous colored background to further add to the overall color harmony.

Lastly, I concieved and executed  the painting using a limited palette of Red Iron Oxide, Yellow Ochre,Black and White.  ok Im done now.  Actually it was an enjoyable way to spend an hour.
