Practice, Practice ...

No matter how many times I've posted the various "how to's" of figure drawing I'm always surprised how quickly I forget them when I've missed a month (or more). I put pencil to paper too quickly without first observing the figure, I use my eraser too much or I fail to get the entire figure on the paper. It's true, life drawing for an artist is the equivalent of practicing scales for a musician and by maintaining a routine my line is more fluid, I'm more relaxed, I don't overthink it and I take time to observe.

We welcomed some new artists last Monday and missed some of the "regulars". My thanks to all those that continue to weekly Life Drawing in Fredericksburg. 

Emily will be posing for us on Monday August 11th.
