on her side

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.

This is a more abstract figure drawing (with ink wash) of Jenny, a model here in the Bay area that I have used for almost 6 years now. This is one of my more favorite drawings of her and I am not sure why.

this is one of my favorite drawings that I have posted to flicker. however, it doesn't get viewed as often as a similar one (of another model in a skirt). I have been thinking about it and I think the primary differnce is that in this one you can not see her breasts. this is an ink wash drawing on gray Fabriano Ingres paper with white pastel highlights
