These are the 5 minutes poses.
I like these classic poses. Are model was good at striking them. It makes our job easier.

Last Night’s Life Drawing
We haven’t had our models pose nude much over the winter, as it is colder in the room. Spring is here! Wished I would have used the dark brown pastel instead of the black. I didn’t look closely at what I was picking up. 10″x 18″ pastel on paper
Tonight’s Life Drawing
We had our model in a good costume this evening. I enjoyed drawing some drapery for a change of pace. 12″x16″ hard pastel on warm gray Canson pastel paper.

Reclined model, pastel on Canson Paper 12″x16″
Life Drawing of Meditation
I liked this pose very much. 15×15″ oil pastel on Tan Toned Paper.
Life Drawing Night
I don’t usually choose a viewing angle from behind the model. I ought to do so more often.
Evening Life Drawing
Drawing hands and feet has gotten easier. Drawing the bottom of feet is more interesting.
Life Drawing
On Tuesday nights I meet with a group of artists to draw from a live model. Often the highlight of my weekdays. I tried conte crayons for the first time, it’s a hard pastel. I’ve done very little pastel, I am a painter, but I wish I would have thought of trying it sooner for this purpose. I like the immediacy of this medium. 24×18″ on brown paper, finished piece.
