I skipped life drawing last week because we had a streak of weather
that was too beautiful to spend sketching indoors. We’re back to “normal” now,
however, and I think I must sadly concede that outdoor-sketching weather is
over for the year.
The return to normal weather means that I’ll be going back to life
drawing practice more regularly again. On Thursday Shauna, one of my favorite
models, was in fine form with expressive, fluid poses. My sketches were less
so, but I’m slowly getting my joints re-oiled. Brush pens are still my favorite
for very short poses, and I’m enjoying using soft colored pencils when the
poses are at least 10 minutes long. (Here’s a post showing all my current life-drawing materials.) Masochist that I am, to fulfill
my InkTober self-commitment, I even drew
a 20-minute pose with a ballpoint pen, but I’ll wait until my first InkTober
report to show you that one.

Nice figures. So far we've had some nice weather up here in Maine, so I got several sketches done at the Pumpkinfest yesterday. It is misting this morning and I'm hoping it clears a bit so I can get our of town and down to do some local scenery today down the peninsula. I have my fingers crossed. :)
