Entry for Sept 25, 2014

It was a portrait night at the Collective drawing session in an apartment close by High Park.  Frances provided a variety of 1-minute and 3-minute facial gestures as a warm-up.  Gwen, the daughter of the night's host, was nice enough to sit for a variety of studies after that; four 5-minute ones, a 15-minute one, and a 10-minute at the bottom.
The top two sheets of Frances are Pitt pen, most of the Gwen studies are Pitt pen and dilute india ink, and the 15-minute one is graphite pencil and Artgraf washes. All are on 17 x 17" sheets, of a variety of different papers (I've lost track of which is which)

On the Friday night I got over to the TSA to do some drawing. Ben was working that night. Some of the evening's drawing time was given up to a conversation with someone I hadn't seen in a while, with some difficult but necessary news.
My mood was unquiet, and the drawing I did do wasn't as technically sharp as I want it to be. These are a 10-minute study with Pitt pen on 18 x 24" Canson Recycled Sketch paper up top, and a 15-minute and a 20-minute study using water-soluble pencil and Artgraf washes on 18 x 24" sheets of Canson Montval watercolour paper below. There were several other studies, but none worth keeping or sharing.
More of my mind and heart was given over to non-art processing, but it was still feeling good to be doing some drawing.
