1st entry for June 1, 2014





On the Sunday morning I travelled out to a space I hadn't drawn at before. Called "Artisans at Work", it is an art studio and shop at Woodbine and Danforth. They have begun offering drawing sessions, and I was interested in a 2-person session they had scheduled for the Sunday morning.
The space was reasonably large and decently lit, and the couple, Holly and Andrew had a very nice chemistry with each other, and held poses together well.
The line drawings are all Pitt medium point pen on 18 x 24" sheets of Canson Recycled Sketch paper. They are a 3-minute and two 10-minute ones.
The tonal studies are 15 and 20 minutes, done with water-soluble graphite pencil and water-soluble graphite washes on 18 x 24" Canson Montval watercolour paper.
