Charcoal Figure Sketches in Quick Poses by Diana Moses Botkin

Our artists' salon is meeting again for figure study.

We have a new model who has never modeled before. She did a good job holding still and she came prepared with ideas for poses she got from life drawing books at the library.

Her proportions and build are quite different from past models. This young lady has a long torso and short, thick arms and legs.


I found it a challenge to make her look "right" on the paper.

Here are the best picks of the short studies: three, five, and ten minutes. You can purchase at my DailyPainters Gallery page if would like any of them.
