Made it to Figure Drawing on Monday. My brain is being a poopy head and has been telling me that there is no point. It really is pretty abusive, but I can’t quite figure out how to live without it yet…
Anyhow. Went to figure drawing. Hated everything that I drew. Decided to upload them today anyhow and magically they aren’t nearly as bad as I thought that they looked last night.
Stupid Brain.
Video of Time-lapse:
I’m in a bit of a funk so not much for commentary today. Here are the drawings and time-lapse from last night at Steve’s.

Thank you for visiting my corner of the internet.

Back to the Hungerford and the Art Group without a name.
Second session:
I won’t be attending the next model session at the Thursday Group so there won’t be another portrait for a few weeks. I will still be attending Figure Drawing on Mondays. Thank you for visiting my corner of the internet.
Monday is my art day. I spent the entire day painting. It was glorious! Stopped in time to make it to Steve’s open studio session.
I think the model’s name is Beth – but since I am absolutely horrible at remembering names it may very well not be.
I think being creative in any area helps in other areas. I think painting all day made the figure drawing go a little smoother.
No matter what I know this is teaching me to see better and to make more accurate marks when I draw. It’s definitely worth the practice (and the Instagram followers that I lose EVERY TIME I post a figure drawing).
and the timelapse of the drawing:
Hope that you are able to do something that inspires you today.
My niece has returned home. So back to my normal(ish) schedule.
Monday nights at Steve Carpenter’s Art Center. Bonus…. also one of my favorite models 🙂

Second Session:
oh. I have mentioned in my other posts that my niece was visiting for the week. Because of this a lot of things about my schedule were a bit different. Not awful or unmanageable – just different. In this case it led to me having my painting supplies in the car for a few hours before class. I know the heat (especially in a black car in 90 degree heat) isn’t good for the paint, but I didn’t give it much thought as it was going to only be a few hours.
yeah, well… I had no idea how it would affect the turpenoid. Apparently if you leave turp in the car in that kind of heat it evaporates. Completely. Not a spec left. Didn’t leak out all over the car – just went away.
So my second session was painted without any way to thin my paints or clean my brushes out (completely – I still had paper towels to remove the bulk of the paint). This was an experiment that I did not enjoy.
I am not happy with this painting and I wish that I could blame it on the absence of thinner…. but I don’t think that was it.
Maybe next week will be better. Still learning. Still worth it.
This time back to the Art Center of Rochester on Titus Avenue in Irondequoit and MUCH to the relief of my niece – finally a clothed model!
and the time lapse:
I am a female tattoo artist and shop owner. I believe in love and creation above fear and destruction. I am a passionate person and respect and admire that in others regardless of where their passion lies.
But at the end of the day, all I want to do is add a little beauty to the world and try to be a blessing in the lives of those around me.
