3rd Entry for Aug 22, 2011

After a break and costume change, D- returned with this Marie Antoinette lingerie ensemble. The top three studies are 5 minutes each, and the bottom one is a 10-minute study. All are done with hard compressed charcoal on 18 x 24" sheets of cartridge paper.

These are 5-minute studies, also done with hard compressed charcoal on 18 x 24" sheets of cartridge paper.

1st entry for Aug 22, 2011

On the Monday I went to the penultimate Dr Sketchy's session of the summer at the Cameron House. D- was working that night. These are (generous) 1-minute studies, done with hard compressed charcoal on 18 x 24" sheets of cartridge paper.

2nd Entry for Aug 12, 2011

The upper three of these are all in the 20-minute range. The lowest one dates from July 29th, when I had a bit of time in a class I was teaching to do some drawing (an extreme rarity for me, but once in a rare while it's best to let people be..) It also did not get posted in order.
All of these are hard compressed charcoal on 1x8 x 24 sheets of cartridge paper.

......and speaking of teaching, if any of you are looking for art instruction, the Toronto School of Art's fall term is beginning in a couple of weeks.
I teach introductory life drawing Saturday mornings (course # 902) and Intermediate life drawing on Wednesday nights (course # 832). You can get more details here.

(These are slightly out of order, but in the lively whirl of summer I missed out on documenting/posting them at the correct time. Since I'm posting a bunch of other studies of G- , now seems like a logical time to include them)
These were done on a Friday night at the TSA. At top is a 5-minute study, and below are three 10-minute ones, all hard compressed charcoal on cartridge paper.
