Another lovely Osher Figure Drawing session with my students and professional figure model, Kathryn Zapalo, has yielded a pile of drawings on my studio floor to be gathered up, photographed and displayed on the old wooden easel.
The time when we draw slips into timelessness, and we focus on capturing her figure on the page, following her contours, expressing her features, finding the shadows that reveal depth. Can our simple lines and shapes create the form in motion, the effects of gravity against muscles, the light and depth? We seek the elusive, and what a joy it is merely to seek, to scratch charcoal over paper to see what we can create this time.
My thanks to Kathryn for her light and her beautiful poses!
