This semester is flying by. I start the 8th week tomorrow. I have 8 classes, 20 min figure layins, Anatomy (torso,) Studio Landscape, Gesture Portrait, Head Drawing, Figure Quicksketch, Figure Drawing, and a Friday night workshop. I have seen a lot of improvement this semester. As I continue to pay close attention to the basics: porportions, value, edge, composition…I am slowly starting to feel at ease with putting down what my eye sees, without too much error, which is allowing me to expand on application and technique.  It feels good to free up a bit, classes like Quicksketch, and Gesture Portrait allow for quick results, less attention to detail and more about the mood and essence of the pose/model. 40 min Gesture from Life40 min Gesture from Life40 min Gesture from Life40 min Gesture from Life40 min Gesture from Life40 min Gesture from Life3 hr head drawing from life2 hr head drawing from life2 hr drawing from life3 hr drawing from life2 hr drawing from life2 hr drawing from life2 hr drawing from life2 hr drawing from lifeSkeleton Study20 min figure lay-in  from life20 min figure lay-in  from life20 min figure lay-in  from life20 min figure lay-in  from life20 min figure lay-in  from life20 min figure lay-in  from lifeQuicksketch 3-5 min  from lifeQuicksketch 5 min  from lifeQuicksketch 5 min  from lifeQuicksketch 5 min  from lifeQuicksketch 5 min  from lifeQuicksketch 2 min  from lifeQuicksketch 3 min  from lifeQuicksketch 5 min  from lifeQuicksketch 5 min  from lifeQuicksketch 2-3 min  from lifeQuicksketch 2 min  from lifeQuicksketch 2 min  from lifeQuicksketch 2 min  from lifeQuicksketch 2-3 min  from life
