Drawing People
One of my goals for 2007 is to draw more human faces and figures. I sketched the Holbein drawing of Anne Cressacre again and this time added a watercolor wash. In addition, I started what I hope will be a series of dancers taken from photos in dance magazines and programs from our New York City dance companies. I think it will be fun to struggle through these exercises - I certainly need many days just drawing hands!

You certainly will get good practice with hands if you do dancers - what a good idea.

I love the girl "after" Holbein, Shirley--expressive, delicate, lovely...

Wonderful facial expression on the top portrait, and great arches on the feet of that dancer! Fun stuff!
