Taking some time to draw from the statues I see in Notre Dame, Louvre, My flight back from France and the streets of Copenhagen.
Sitting on a bench in city square of Copenhagen, it took about 45 minutes, I can't draw in cold too well.
Notre Dame I did Saint Theresa, I thought the statue showed such a calm spirit about her. 1 and 1/2 hours
Hope to have gained a follower, This is a Woman sitting near me on the plane 10 Minutes
Greek statue of apollo about an hour.
Total about 3 and half hours.
An Artist quest to get better at his craft, one hour at a time for a thousand hours. And encouraging the viewers of this Blog to find their own 1000 hour quest. May you join me in my joy, pain, tears, and victories.

The Eyes of March
The Ides of March reminded Of "Irish Eyes are Smiling" so why not the "Eyes of March". Still using Graphite (pencil) for one it is cheap and readily available. Tell me what you think.

Drawing from lithographs
Here are a few I have done over the past couple of days, I have been reading about the French artist Charles Bargue and his drawing academy in late 1800's, here in Toronto is a school that teaches his method. i visited on tuesday and I will take a course the next time i am in Toronto. I would have started today but I didn't have a materials list and I wasn't interest in getting stuff I already have. I also want to drive in better weather during the spring.
