" CHEZ MARIE "

                                       8  x  11        Pen & Ink & Watercolor

" Chez Marie " is a small cafe in Paris very close to Montmartre. I thought I would post this drawing I just finished for CHRisTMAS.
First the place is red and second it is called Chez Marie and I thought it could be the new version for the stable where christ was born, " At Mary's place " After all he was put in a trough and that's where you put the food you give to the animals, since he is feeding us still I thought it a perfect correlation.
BLESSINGS and MERRY CHRISTMAS to All

BTW this piece is from my pen & Ink blog Dancing Strokes but I really like the idea so I'm posting here too.

Well I was able to go to this life drawing session which had this lovely model. I haven't done something like this in years. When she came back from her break she had panties and boots on !?!
BTW ...... that's me in the back with my pink shirt !
I have asked if they could set up a long pose one day for me and a few others to paint in Oil... HooWoo !

90 SECOND POSES

8 x 10 graphite

I found this site called posemaniacs that have quick poses to sketch from. It was great to practice that way. At first I did the drawing and then ounce the pose was done I went back on my drawings and accentuated a few lines.
