I've discovered the AS220 open life drawing workshops on Tuesday evenings and have attended the last few weeks.  The vibe in the space is laid-back and easy.  It's becoming one of my fave things to do in Providence.

Using a black pen and an 11"x14" sketchbook, I intentionally work fast.  Even when the poses are longer in duration, I will do them over and over instead of creating a finished piece.  I am enjoying the exploration of gesture and weight.  Moving my hand while observing is one of my happy places.

Along with the beach paintings, I'm still exploring portraits.  Here is another I began of two boys a few weeks ago.  This is based on a photo of my nephews, taken about 20 years ago.

Painting is 22"x28", oil on canvas and still in progress.
