Life Drawing Morning

This morning was a great time at life drawing. We had a great model and wonderful classical selections on KBAQ, our local public radio station. There were many moments today that I thought how perfect that instant in time was...the music punctuated by the sounds of the various mark making tools. Some people are painting with watercolor, some draw with ink or pencil and then add paint. Others use charcoal or pastels. Some focus on realistic renditions while others strive to accomplish other visions, but all are inspired by the model. It is such a special comradery. I am posting a small quick 10 minute sketch. You can see a suggestion of the tattoo that our model has down her back. I am trying to convey the image without relying on telling too much. I hope the viewer will fill in the blanks.
