Drawing in Paris and Copehagen

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

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.

As followers would you like some "how to draw..." post?



Using a large tablet I found at the Everything for a EURO Store

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.
