It had been about a month since the last time I went to a life drawing session at Gage, so I knew I was getting flabby. It took me all
of this morning’s two-, five- and 10-minute poses to stretch and warm up, and I
was still feeling creaky when we had worked up to 20-minute poses. When I’m out
of practice, it even takes me longer to see what the problem is. I was
completely finished with the 20-minute sketch of the reclining pose (below, right) before I
realized it was out of proportion. And as I’ve talked about before, with figure drawing, proportion is everything.
Once the weather gets warm and dry enough for location
sketching, I’m not planning to spend much time in Gage’s life drawing studio.
I’m already achy, though, anticipating how I’m going to feel in the fall after
staying away from the “gym” all summer. Ouch.

It is so great that you get to do some life drawing. Like most things you get rusty if you are away from it, but you did well. I really like the blue pose.
