2010 Literary Cafe sketches

Every Friday night, there's a group of artists at Literary cafe doing portrait drawings for whoever volunteer to model that night.
Each drawing session is 3 hours with breaks. The drawings done on black paper are white pastel pencils on black pastel paper. The other two are oil pastels on toned pastel paper.
Most of these drawings were taken using a camera in the bar, thus the blur. The drawings were given away to the models after each sitting.

Taunya

Duration: 3 figure drawing sessions, 3 hour each.
Should never put regular drawing next to an oil pastel drawing. The oil can sip through and leave a stain.

Museum Sketches

It's always a good way to learn forms by drawing without lines, and I don't do it enough. Finally get to have some practice today at the art museum with their sculptures.
p.s. wish I can find a better waterbrushes. I have Pentel and Niji waterbrush. The Pentel one works good for the first 30 minute or even an hour, but then it dries up, and when I squeeze the water reservoir, too much water starts flowing and won't stop for awhile, then it's good for a minute before dries up again. Niji is consistent with the water flow, except it's too much all the time. Should bring a small container of water to dip the brush next time, it may help. Of course it kind of defy the purpose of having a waterbrush with reservoir. :(
