  1. These are wonderful drawings Jean. This portrait says a lot about how most life drawing models actually feel about being life drawing models. They never look overjoyed.

  2. Powerful color, and yet the expression on the woman's face is strongest - nice. Love the drips, too, they seem grounding.

  3. Love all the shadow work and the bored expression :-)

  4. Thanks, Linda. I have been using mostly the same medium same support for all of these. Sustained, by my flibbertygibbit, experimental inclinations.

    Thanks, Katherine. I am very fond of gravity and draw vertically, to encourage those drips.

    Thanks, Jane. I am very happy with the natural light in the studio. There is north light through high placed windows. Makes for beautiful light, something like plein aire because the light changes.

  5. Moody indeed. Like your green woman, I'd never have thought of a purple this bright, but I think it works.

  6. Thanks, Banjo.

    The purple isn't very bright in person or on my monitor, so chalk it up at least in part to different monitors. Some of course may be different perceptions of "bright."

    I love your film of the 100 donkeys.
