Drawing People

 Drawing people whenever I can is my favorite drawing practice.

Backlit Pine

 A small Gouache painting of the view through the branches of a large white pine.

The spring greens of the grasses and the dark branches of the tree caught my eye!

5x7 gouache on paper!

MOBOT

 Drawing at the botanical gardens today.

Small pencil and pastel drawing in the Arid house.  Most plants were of the cactus family but I found these blooms near a bench and couldn't resist sitting down and trying to capture them.

5x7 pastel pencil on toned paper.

Model Drawing

Live models at Heartland Art Club for members to draw from.  These three were my best poses. The first one 15min. Next one 20 min. The last one was 2- 20 minute sessions. Drawing from life is the best practice.
