Deliberate Practice - Figure Drawing with my Paintbrush
There are two parts of my deliberate practice program - architecture and figure drawing. I posted Big Ben last week after I painted it without any pre-drawing. Today I am posting my first figure drawn directly with my brush and watercolor. I used a photo in the book The Nude Figure by Mark Edward Smith.

Will I be brave enough to draw with my paintbrush when I'm sketching live models?

Stunning! I don't think I can ever be brave enough to draw/sketch live models >.

I hope you do take your paintbrush to figure drawing! This is delightful!

We are sure on the same page. I was thinking that I should try watercolors. There are some very talented people at our group who are so comfortable with that medium. Maybe. . .

I think, given how well you have suceeded so far, that you may well be brave enough! I look forward to seeing the results.
