Sketching with 2bornot2bcollective

 I'm glad I found this virtual drawing group based out of the UK. They meet 3 times a week and always have great models. This week I sketched with Derwent Watercolor Pencils and watercolor.  @2bornot2bcollective Model was: @helenroeten

This is a sketchbook that was made for me by my friend Alicia Hallett. The sketchbook is made with watercolor paper and is 10 x 11 inches. 1:42 minutes.

Figure Drawing with Casein

I am still working with Casein and getting used to using it thick and creamy. Because I am primarily a watercolor artist, I have a tendency to water it down too much. The more I practice with casein the more I like it. I think that in some cases it is ok to water it down but I like the thicker strokes with bold paint the best.

This page was created in my sketchbook on watercolor paper. The poses were 5 minutes and under. I used pencil and added color when the model was taking her breaks.

Long pose.

Drawing from Life - "Chess Retreat"

Every year our friend drives down from Los Angeles for a Chess Retreat. He stays at our house and we play marathon chess. I am the one that warms him up because I am not as skilled as Ray and my husband, Gary. This time I won one game and he won 4 or 5. After he is warmed up he plays with Gary and Gary wins most of the time. It doesn't really matter who wins, we have a good time playing chess, reminiscing about our younger days and listening to classic rock music.

The best part is they are mostly still while I practice my life drawing.

Figure Drawing

These are figure sketches from yesterday at Judy's. 2 fives and a 20.

I tried drawing with a brush on the 5 minute poses after noticing that a lot of the artists at the watercolor society started this way.

The20-minutee pose was done with aRapidoo sketch pen and watercolor. My comfort zone.

Life Drawing

These are 2 pages from the life drawing session this morning at Judy's. We had 30 second, 1 minute, 2 minute poses then went on the 5s, 10s, and a 20-minute pose. I sketched in a Daler Rowney Sketchbook with 65 lb paper.

The trip to North Park, San Diego

The trip to north park was just as fun as the figure drawing session. I got to see Stephen, Rachel, and Sami there. The model was Valerie.

I think that song was playing the last time I drove down there too.
