15-minute torso...

I found a figure drawing session in Albany NY where I'm on a 10-day work assignment.

So I went.

It was interesting - very different than my Portland drawing experiences.

Most of the attendees were doing very 'delicate' and 'precise' renderings of the figure. Quite unlike the approach that I've been taking with my drawing/painting.

It was challenging for me draw on an 11x14 sketchpad when I am accustomed to a much larger 24x36 sheet of paper. Even then, 24x36 can be too small. The disadvantage of these photos is that everything is reduced to one visual scale.

My figures from the evening of drawing were missing lots of heads and appendages.
