  1. I did this after the live show. I had used this same bird as part of a larger painting for boss a few years ago. I used this time graphite in a Bristol paper sketchbook. I feel the urge to continue to work on it.

  2. Grüezi Scott,
    Thank you for the instructive drawing lessons. You give me great pleasure. It is very motivating to finish a sketch every week. Thanks again. I’m already looking forward to the ballerina and hope to be able to take part in it despite the corona vaccination.
    A relaxing weekend and kind regards Pia

  3. I used vine charcoal and charcoal pencils on white paper. The feet tripped me! Just couldn’t get them right. Thank you so much for the time and energy you are giving to these sessions. Each of these sessions is a learning experience on many levels.

  4. Once again it’s not the kind of subject that I would have chosen but it opened my mind to other horizons.
    The next time we will use compressed charcoal pencil during the show is it possible to talk a little more about this medium? I’m not used with it and I found it very dark is it possible to make graded marks or to shade it without leaving permanent marks? What make you switch from wine to compressed charcoal when you draw?
    Thank you I had a lot of fun!

  5. Funny how the ones that seem like they’ll be easy … are not. Lol. My angle axis is too straight in line with the paper, like I commented on the live session. Oops.
    I used gray toned paper . Good subject!
