Reclining Figure. -

2009.

Charcoal.

After being absent from the figure drawing world for approximately 7 years, I joined the Prairie Figure Drawing Club.  And thanks to Ken Housego, I am back and completely rejoicing the evening with a group of fantastic people and an evening of drawing.

This is one of four drawing that I completed in one evening after three weeks back.  Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, they were only 20 minute sitting and limited the drawing time.  Are they successful, I believe they are.  I believe that knowing that I have a time limit on some of these sittings forces me to take steps that I normally wouldn’t do or try.  And as a result, perhaps not the best drawing, but a tool to develop my skills I enjoy so much.
