Drawing Group

© Ellen Blonder

I've been sketching with a small group for over two years. We spend about two hours, twice a month, taking turns posing for one another, then sharing our work over a brown bag lunch. This is a five-minute sketch of Barbara Myers, one of our members, who has been a painter and photographer all her life.

I've managed to avoid drawing people in most of my commercial work. It's still a challenge to get back to it many years later, even with all I've learned since college life drawing classes.
