Chair sketch

With the colder weather, I've been drawing indoors more. This is a chair from my living room. I know nothing about furniture, but I think it's a pretty chair, so I had to draw it.

Wayne

Wayne was a last-minute substitute model in today's life-painting session; the scheduled model failed to show. Wayne turned out to be great! He showed up with ropes and posed with them. We started with a couple 10-monute poses. Here's one.

Then it was the main event -- a long pose of about 90 minutes. This is not a great photo, but it does show my main focus -- the intense light on Wayne's left shoulder.
