All Day I Dream About Sketch

I felt good drawing this 18" x 24" charcoal and oil pastel portrait at the Gage Academy of Art, not having illustrated a live model in long pose under dramatic light since 2017. Mitchell — from the “center of the mitt of Michigan” — did a stoic job holding his expression without falter. I’ll be back to the Tuesday night drawing and painting live model session at the northern cusp of Capitol Hill, Seattle.
