1st entry for Sept. 13, 2011





In most public life-drawing settings, an overtly sexual context is something organisers work to avoid.  In the wake of the more playful costume undertakings of the Dr. Sketchy's sessions, I checked out the once-monthly Keyhole Sessions drawing session. They are the exception, in aiming quite overtly to situate people into a deliberately sexualised context. Although not the aim of most figure drawing as a learning experience, that is a component of adult human experience. 
The crowd was, as I had found the one other time I visited that group, not at all the old man, `plastic mac' audience , but rather a lot of chatty, younger, hipper men and women, by and large.
These are a page of 1-minute studies and a couple of 10-minute studies of A- in a latex skirt & corset, and a 30-minute study of A- and A-L.  All were done with Prang U-Art hard compressed charcoal on 18 x 24" sheets of cartridge paper.
