One-minute life sketch

Last night we had another life drawing session in the studio. Same model as last time. Previously, I missed the first part of the session due to babysitter concerns (I had to wait until she arrived from another gig). So, when we started with one-minute poses, I was taken aback & had to adapt to a very rapidly changing subject. It's a useful skill to adopt, as you have to try & capture the essence of the pose in 60 seconds. Less, if you're trying to put a new piece of drawing paper onto the drawing board via annoying & non-intuitive clips, as I was doing. So, the 60 second pose probably got cut down to 50 or even 45, what with the paper attachment thing, finding a pencil, minor adjustments to the angle of the easel & so forth. However...



Not too bad. 12" x 9", 2007, graphite on paper. Less than 60 seconds.
