In my Crealde Urban Sketching class I pose for students after explaining how to get a figure on the page. I realized I put on weight during the pandemic when I saw one of my student’s sketches. Anyway. We then each pose in turn for just 5 minutes and we use all the tools in our artist toolbox to get as much information on the page as possible.
One sketch is used as a demo and the others I walk around to show my process at different stages. My next series of classes were canceled sing no enough students signed up. That gives me time to branch out and start exploring with my sketchbook on my own on weekends.
I am including these 5 minute sketches since I feel it is important to documents how different people handled the pandemic. Some like myself remain fully masked while others wear chin straps or feel the pandemic is over. Sine my ear is to the rail, I know better.
