David is a very good spirit who works in the grocery store in my neighborhood. He and the staff have done a good job resupplying the store during the pandemic despite some binge buying. And David and crew have kept a Upbeat and helpful attitude when many customers became frustrated or contentious. Finally, if you come into the store you must mask up which helps protect these workers and their families.

A recent life drawing from The Palette & Chisel of a model I hadn’t drawn before. Liked her funky style and the fab braids. I believe I worked on this drawing for almost two hours. Pitt Artist Pens on toned drawing paper.

 

getting in weekly sessions at The Palette & Chisel.

Still making my way to life drawing at the Palette & Chisel at least once a week. Drawings on either Hanemühle Cappuccino sketchbook or Romeo ivory unlined journal with Pitt Artist Pens.

 

I seldom walk thru the door of the Palette & Chisel certain I’ll have a strong day drawing. I generally know if I’m to struggle with the need to either relax or bear down. Nice when you can manage both.

2. All of these were drawn on Tomoe River Paper with Pitt Artist Pens and some fountain pens.

Going to life drawing means that unlike a great deal of sketching I do out in public, on trains, in cafes, and among people just going about their day; my subject may actually hold still for a known amount of time. That said, I still dig drawing the constantly moving artist, even if their movements are slight and return to a similar position.
