I had made a new year’s resolution to spend time restudying the human figure. A few months back Edna and I had spent a morning jointly drawing from the figure, and I decided to honor my resolution. Last Friday, August 10, I took up my position with several other artists around the model and spent an engaging two-and-a-half hours drawing. The two examples above are from that session.
