Life drawing

Life drawing is my release. There’s no better way to spend an hour than with charcoal, pastels, pencil and chalk, a big piece of rough paper, and a life model. It’s a particularly mindful experience, and even if what you produce heads straight for the recycling bin (everyone has an off-day now and then) your time has been well spent.

These sketches aren’t necessarily my best or most accurate renderings of each model. But they are pictures I enjoyed producing.
