we had another figure drawing marathon yesterday. These marathon days are so much fun. I can't explain it. I only wish that I could have done it all day.

This ink wash drawing is from the last marathon in November. Most of the figure drawings are nude, although this one isn't. Costumes are fun sometimes. Later this week I'll be positing some from yesterday.

Our weekly figure drawing group has dissolved. It's a victim to rising rents in the area. The artist who hosted it had to move and now I am in search of a new group that is easy to get to by public transit. Life and its changes, like the wash on the paper you never know what it is going to do. You adapt and hope that it turns out to be something beautiful and good.
