1st entry for Nov 9, 2012

On the Friday, Angela was working over at the TSA. These are three 5-minute studies above, and a couple of 10-minute ones below. The top three are medium compressed  charcoal on 18 x 24" bond paper, and the lower two are done with hard Nobel charcoal on 18  24" sheets of Canson Recycled Sketch paper.

For any aspiring portrait drawers out there, the Toronto School of Art's Winter Term is approaching, starting in mid-January.  I'm teaching a portrait drawing class then on Wednesday mornings. It runs mid-January to mid-April. Enroll before Dec. 3rd and you get a discount, too (presently that's the only term that I teach the portrait class, so miss this and you'll have to wait another year.
