Live Model @ Art Walk

The live model sketching at last night's Yreka Art Walk was fun and a learning experience for all. Two people from our group showed up--Nancy and myself--and we spent some time drawing. Our model was the lovely Debbie and she did a great job not only modeling but hawking the sketching session to passers-by on the street. Here are a few of the sketches that I did...quick 2 - 3- 5 minute poses...all are in the Stillman & Bern Alpha (100#) Sketchbook. Click to enlarge...
