We are taking a short vacation “up north” over the holiday weekend so I thought I would post another one of the figure drawings I did at our last session. In this quick sketch I wanted to focus on light and shadow so I used only charcoal and white pastel. This pose kind of reminded me of Rodin’s “The Thinker”. There’s a large cast of it in front of the Detroit Institue of Arts.

Nikki was our model today at figure drawing class. She is a dancer and a wonderfully expressive model. We all love to paint her. This is a quick charcoal sketch I did on gray Mi Tiente paper. Unfortunately, we found out today that she is moving to New York and won’t be returning to be our muse. We’ll miss her!
