2011 - new year, new studies

I realize most of my postings lately are the same model.. but this particular model, Tania, is excellent. I'll be posting regularly so there'll soon be more variety up here.

Dec 16th session

It's been awhile since I've posted here- got very busy and fell off the blogosphere for a bit.

Here's some recent work from last week's session- love this model, Tania. These Hopper House sessions are so helpful for me, meditative and also just such a positive environment with all the artists and our collective effort to keep our self-sustaining program running.

Last week's figure drawing session at Hopper Hosue

Drawing the figure is so helpful for me- just drawing for the love of it, and especially when working with a model as
wonderful as Tania. This practice is essential for me as an artist on so many levels; keeping loose, stretching those 'drawing muscles'.

recent sketches at Hopper House

A great model, high energy and lots of fun sketching last week. Model Tania is phenomenal.

My take on a Hopper scene

This has been something I'd wanted to do for a long time. Having access to draw in Edward Hopper's house is such a fortunate situation. I was able to create a scene using rudimentary objects, some lighting, and the models did the rest. Next time we'll be sure to give ourselves a lot more time, or less poses.

Some recent figurative sketches from Hopper House sessioins

Here's a few from last week's figure drawing session. More to follow later this week!
