\"\"Kate 1<\/em> (20 minute figure study) 18×24″ Charcoal on Canson<\/span><\/p>\n

Figure drawing from life is a nice change from the way I’m currently creating art, and it’s definitely different from my photography.\u00a0 Walk into\u00a0any event featuring photographers, and you’ll\u00a0have others\u00a0asking you what camera or lens you use, perhaps trying to find a correlation between\u00a0gear and talent.\u00a0 Sure,\u00a0I can’t deny that the better (i.e. more expensive) tools help a person get the job done, but drawing puts things into perspective.\u00a0 In art class no one asks you how much the pencil costs or what brand it is.\u00a0 Everyone is just in there to work and get better and learn, no matter what skill level you are.\u00a0 The latest drawings are from an open studio\u00a0class back at my old school.\u00a0 It’s been a long time since I’ve drawn this way, and I’m really out of shape artistically.\u00a0 When I look at my old drawings now, I cringe at\u00a0most of them.\u00a0 But for a young person learning at the time, I would have to say some of the work was okay.
