From a walk-in figure group in San Francisco - I think MCCLA in the Mission - great pose!

Classes have begun and I have great new students who want to learn and celebrate the figure and forms!  I have been helping my teacher and good friend Henry Yan this week in some of his classes ( yes, the dreaded Substitute teacher!) - but the students have been great and welcoming to the tall, excitable teacher!  The above are ( except for the last drawing) some excerpts from my classes this past week and a bit..

"Jeny's Rose"
My final day painting of Jeny.  A lovely model - and fun to draw and paint her.  This was part of the Kerry Dunn ( a dude) Studio Incamminati workshop I took with my Mom in Tampa Florida.  We had a blast and enjoyed getting to know all the students and Mr Dunn! It was held at the Santaella Cigar Factory at studios run by Kerry Vosler (woman).

 This is a progression from my block-in to the final work..  I hope you enjoy looking!
