Another Saturday Life Drawing Session
Another Saturday morning session at Montgomery College. It takes the starch right out of me, it takes such concentrated effort. But oh, such good practice, those three hours. This is the same model as the first week, can you see improvement?
I think you have a gift to portray pain in the body: the first drawing is really strong: the whole body yells her concern that the caricatural head in the arms usually tell. That drawing speak a lot to me as a somatic therapist, psychotherapist and dancer.
Fear less, hope more, eat less, chew more, whine less, breathe more, talk less, say more,
love more, and all good things will be yours. Swedish Proverb
All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites. Marc Chagall
Notable Quote
"Thriving as an artist--in all of its forms--our entitlement to our lives and livelihood, our imagination, our believed limitations, our expectations and dreams for our work, our professionalism, our perceived competition and, most importantly, our JOY, requires the serving of an eviction notice to the voice of doubt squatting inside us." Sara Genn

Nice Work. Keep at it. It's good to go to life drawing classes and get a lot of practice in.
If you can't get to class though check out the resources at www.figuredrawing.ca.
