Almost Enough


 

Almost Enough

I had a bit of time at the end of a recent costume session with “LH” not so long ago to start this second sketch. Almost enough time as she showed signs of fading from a long pose.

Morning in a chair

staring into oblivion.

 

I sketched with the Independent Painters Group on Friday morning. It’s been a while. “LE” posed in a costume I have sketched her posing in before not so long ago.

Face




 Face

Two sketches of “J” in the longest pose she provided in a session with her earlier in the week. I had time for two. In one I sketched her as she was. In the other I sketched in a remembered her face based on so many other sessions drawing her in the past.
