I've been attending life drawing sessions on a regular basis for over 45 years. But, I haven't posted many on this blog. We do timed drawings starting with 1 minute sketches, then 3 minute, and up until we get to one or two 20 minute poses. lately we've been finishing up with a 30 or 40 minute pose. It may be the best way to keep that eye coordination sharp. Here's the 25 minute pose from last night.

Here's a second quad of drawings I did while doing a residency in Italy. The top drawings are from Rome and others are from Farindola. Farindola is a small town in eastern Italy that was built over a thousand years
ago. Old town is full of folksy romance with its’ thick stone walls, barrel
tile roofs and narrow pathways.

Some of the 30 composition/value studies done on a recent artists residency in Italy. I was honored to be one of six south Florida artists invited to do a 12 day residency in Farindola, Italy. I did some watercolors too but this is a drawing blog. We spent a few days in Rome first, hence the Colosseum sketch.
