Sumi on 'rice' paper (hanshi). 54 by 13 inches.
This is my first attempt at making a scroll as a mounting for the picture. I'm not too disappointed in how it turned out.
By the way, the place it's hanging is just temporary, just to take the picture.

The model as a tree

As noted before; I've started playing, at recent life drawing sessions, with the idea of painting the model as a landscape, seascape ,or whatever 'scape. Hence this sketch in this set.

Blind contour +

Done during the Thursday night life drawing session at the mad Russian's. I was doing mostly blind contour drawing with a Pitt pen, including this one. However, I couldn't resist adding a bit of watercolor wash to it.

Shadowplay
| |
|
Here I sketched the shadows only.
At the Grange's life drawing sessions there's a little old lady artist (OK, she's probably 10 years younger than I am) who started drawing fairly late in life and worries a lot about proportion and perspective. Obviously not something that I worry about, -any more than I worry about run-on sentences! :-)
None the less I (remember those of us that can't, or won't, do, teach!) suggested she try this, just doing the shadows, -that that would help her see the model a little differently and gain a better understanding of how and where things fit.
So! I did this sketch as an example for her.
