Choosing a Still Life

Studio 106 has all the props you could possibly want to set up a still life. What an inspiring place to spend a rainy afternoon!

 

Grisalba

I finally got to draw Grisalba, the beautiful server at La Casita. I've always wanted to sketch her because of her fabulous hair and exotic features, but busy waitresses don't have time to sit still for a sketch. So, I got her a gig as as our first model for the new Monday night figure-drawing group at Studio 106. Since she had never done this before, we couldn't believe how flawlessly and elegantly she sat for 3 hours (with breaks at 20 minute intervals). A natural!

Unsuspecting visitors to the studio WILL be sketched! I'm amassing quite a collection of sketcher-husband portraits. Soon I'll be able to do a show!

See Faye Work

After scheduled sketching at Useless Bay Coffee, we repaired to Studio 106 where Faye worked and I sketched all afternoon.

Robert is always a pleasure to sketch with his wonderful headgear and beard!

Sketching Stephanie and Alyscia

Stephanie & Alyscia

We've been wanting to sketch Stephanie, our favorite server at Mo's Pub,  for a while. It finally came together yesterday. We had the opportunity to sketch both Stephanie and her beautiful daughter Alyscia at Studio 106. They both have the most beautiful eyes and mouths. I wish I could have done them justice.
