Fritz, nude study

Ink on cotton paper
36 by 26 cm

Another day of drawing at the International Art Club. Fritz was the model again. I love this medium, but it is unforgiving of mistakes!

Another 20 minute sketch. I think I caught his eyebrow best here.

Sorry not to have the option of leaving comments on the main web page anymore - I tried to make it easy to do, but eventually the spammers found it and so I had to shut it down. But you are always welcome to comment on the blog or by email. It is the interaction with you all, my audience, that sustains me as an artist!

These were part of a series done at the International Art Club a couple of days ago. I couldn't decide which I liked best so I'm sharing a few of them. They are mostly 20 minute sketches.

I love working with ink on cotton paper. It helps me to paint what I see, now what I know.

Madame T.

Photograph.

I am launching something called the "Beauty Project." This will be a series of photographs, possibly paintings, of women with different body types and all ages. I've been thinking of doing this project for a couple of years, and so am excited to be started now. I am looking for volunteers...
