This is titled 'The Contract". It could just as easily be called 'The Bribe'....you can write your own story. But because a gift is involved, I'm using it as my Christmas card this year.

A couple of pages from my sketchbook this weekend.

Here are some faces I saw whilst sketching at the Farmers Market near the Grove yesterday.

More ten minute poses from the model. This week, would you believe, Shaft.

Darwin, Dickens, Lincoln, Washington and Rembrandt. Not being the greatest caricaturist in the world I feel I have to tell you who they are but I had fun doing them so I thought I'd share.

More five minute sketches from the model. No guessing what this week's theme was.

5 to 10 minute sketches from the model. This week - The Director.

Some more ten minute poses from the costumed model class. Much more fun than stuffy nude models.

I've been having fun, lately, sketching costumed models at a session on Thursday nights. Here are some 5 to 15 minute poses. For details of where and when see links under Drawingclub.
