OK People hosts a 3-hour Monday night life drawing session near Bloor and Landsdowne in Toronto. Their focus is on fast poses. It's a real gesture drawing workout.

We switched to silks for the rest of the evening. These were all 5-minute poses.
The flexibility and stamina of some of the models never fails to impress me.

These were all 5-minute poses. Once again, D- alternated her airborne poses with some yoga work. The leg behind head pose requires a remarkable amount of flexibility, but not something that is easy to address aesthetically. It is a very good drawing challenge in trying to make all the body bits sit plausibly in an unorthodox relationship - but if success is attained, wht does one do with it? In these studies just bearing witness satisfied me in the short term.

I don't practice Yoga, and the stamina entailed in holding that for 5 minutes impressed me.

These were 3-minute poses. Changing things up from the aerial poses, D- did a couple of yoga stretches as wekk, then back aloft.
