LIFE DRAWING STUDIO
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am currently enrolled in the 8 week figure studio session through the Kansas City Art Institute.  The instruction free session meets each Thursday from 6 to 9 PM.  Models vary, but each adheres to roughly the same schedule - multiple 30 second to one minute poses, working up to 5 minutes to invariably 25-30 minutes poses.  I have and will be working with pencil, charcoal, chalk pastel and watercolor (paint introduced in later sessions).  I will post my work below after each session.
