More Drawing with Toulouse-Lautrec
The Museum of Modern Art Toulouse-Lautrec Print Exhibit is closing mid-March and I will miss it terribly. I will miss my regular visits to the exhibit, my drawings from his prints to warm up, and the Café Society Figure Drawing session that occurred twice each month since the Fall. Today I am posting 2 warm-up Toulouse-Lautrec drawings and 4 drawings from my favorite model - Kelly.
Aristide Bruant - Performer and owner of a Montmartre Café.
Yvette Guilbert - Perfprmer and one of Toulouse=Lautrec's favorite models.
These are some my 6 minute drawings of Kelly - drawn on 11 X 15" watercolor paper with soluble graphite and then shaded with a waterbrush. These were photographed because they were too big for my scanner.

Wonderful! I can feel the influence of your trip to Paris in these sketches.

I like how you use the water soluble graphite, I carry several of these around but rarely use them..I'm inspired! Great sketches.
