Drawing with comfort being the main focus.

Ok l have been focusing on drawing models and having them be as comfortable as possible. We discuss the pose but l do not need the model to be still and lifeless. We talk during the session and l allow the drawing to be organic. The model is comfortable l don't tape off a pose. l don't aim to be a camera, l aim to understand the subject and l try to capture the person. This has helped me loosen up a lot in my artistic process.

Sketch Book Summer Drawing

l have been doing a lot of experimenting since most of the open figure drawing session are no longer active for the summer break. Visual Arts Center of Richmond VA is so it is a good place for me to stay focused.

Large Format Drawing, All 24 by 36 inches.

OK l have been thinking of doing large drawing for a while. l have found doing so brings things to the fore front and details are created. Simple but a lot of it builds complexity. Large Format drawing helps me remember this fact.
