Portrait Pose 2

Here is week two of my new Monday night long pose group. I decided to try canvas again for the first time in about 4 years. It's alright I suppose, I'll probably stick to board though.As a fun experiment I did this sketch the following day from memory. It's not exact, but I was surprised how many little details and nuances I retained. Interesting how well our brains can pick up information and store it while we don't even realize this is happening.

    I've discovered your site via Patchblox. Your work is really inspiring, great paintings and illustrations, "The old wise man" is my favourite one.

  2. Just popped in for a visit while surfing. Your figure sketches are lovely, fluid and expressive, especially capturing the body language.
