With dismay, I walked into Gage’s life drawing open studio this
morning to find that the same model I had sketched more than a month ago was again wearing the same bridal gown in
the same pose. I’d forgotten that the Friday morning long-pose sessions were
still reserved for “Artist’s Choice,” so the same artist was still working on
her painting. But I’d driven over in the pouring rain – why not stay and make
the best of it?
Despite the model’s mundane pose, I had to admit that the dress
was a fun challenge – all those voluminous folds of fabric were good practice.
I sketched her three times – once each in water-soluble pencil, fountain pen ink
and India ink with a twig. By the fourth sketch, I was bored with her; I turned
90 degrees and sketched the other artists.

LOL Sometimes the other artists are just as interesting or more interesting than the model. Good sketches! I like how you handled the billowy fabric in the gown.
