30 to 45 Minute Life Drawings
I'm sure you get the picture by now. The longer the pose the more complete and detailed the drawing. Sometimes it is too long and loses the freshness of something quicker. 20 minutes seems a good length most times although a longer pose can give more information on which to base a painting.
To a place where I can share my studio paintings, love of life drawing and figurative work, small daily paintings, plein aire, journaling and short stories.
