Tuesday has come round again, so time to head into town and try out some portrait and figure drawing. I have not been using a brush when I do charcoal pictures, so good time to experiment with that. The model sits for an hour and a half (!) with a break in the middle, but instead of doing an hour and a half picture, I prefer to do two for 45 minutes each.

A3 charcoal on mixed media paper.

Second half I decided to do a full figure. Also A3 mixed media paper.
