Life drawing in Montreal.





At the studio of the awesome Regis Loisel ( with my buddy Pat)

Visited friends but my main motivation for this trip was seeing the amazing Otto Dix retrospective Rouge Cabaret at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. The biggest of its kind ever in North America and terrifying and beautiful work indeed!




Before leaving I got to meet Elizabeth Miller (and get a facsimile edition of Bram Stoker's Dracula notes and her Bram Stoker's Dracula books signed) author of several amazing Dracula related books.

Visiting my Grandma sketch.


And a life drawing from this week,

Some life drawing/

Dr. Sketchy's life drawing last night. As usual not entirely pleased with my drawings but it was fun. Here is some...

Went to the Cameron for some life drawing with friends. Good fun and the model was fantastic. Can't say my drawings do her justice but heres a handful. Didn't get a chance to get the watercolors out but now that I know the set up maybe next time.




The mighty J. Bone.
She blocked out this sketch of his mug when she was taking pics of a bunch of the drawings of her piled on the stage. I can't understand why!

Models were double booked last night at life drawing so we got two for the price of one.
These were done with a 2h lead on around 8 by 10 paper. Can't get much looseness or
variations in pencil line or tone with lead like that so I'm happy when I get a drawing or two that I like out of it.
