3rd entry for Nov 4, 2012

 These are, from the top, two 5-minute studies, four 10-minute studies and one 15-minute study. All of these are done with hard Nobel compressed charcoal on 18 x 24" sheets of Canson Recycled Sketch paper.

I am having an open house this weekend at my cozy and cluttered studio. This time it will be predominately figure studies from the past 20 years that feature people's backs. Strong backs, bold backs, soft backs, gentle backs - all kinds, in a wide range of sizes and media.
My studio is at 165 Bathurst St, just south of Queen St, and it will run 1 - 6 pm on Saturday, Nov 17 and noon - 6 on Sunday, Nov 18. Everyone is welcome to come and bring friends. Lots to see and you might even find something you'd like to own...
