I lovvvveeee sketching… very primal, don't you think!… That is what our caveman ancestor did with a piece of coal on the cave…

| Interesting site, Faisal. Yes, we are like the cavemen, recording what is in front of us. I still don't have the nerve to sit close to people in cafes who know I am drawing them. Oh well, that is another good reason to go to life drawing I guess.... but yes, I do a few impromptu sketches at the mall now and then.. | |

| It is fun watching your progress. You seem to be accomplishing so much more in the 15 minutes than you did when you first started. If you have any matboard laying around from matting a painting, it is terrific as a base for chalks similar to the construction paper, but firm. | |

| Recent life sketch, coloured pencils on cheap construction paper. No blurring seemed to be required for posting this hand and torso study... | |

| This one in coloured pastel is from March of this year. 15 minutes. I liked the coloured pastel on that darker background; a chance to work with minimal detail. | |

| I seemed to have missed months of these! I don't know how. Anyway, your work is great! I can't believe how quickly and clearly your images are coming out. Congratulations!

| Thanks Crystal. I took a break from posting, (and attending) during late winter and early spring. But I'm back at the sessions these days. | |

| Thanks Jan and Faisal! It's fun messing around with the colour combos on that pad of construction paper: it forces me to not take it too seriously... | |
