Here's a new Horse painting (drawing?) that I'm working on using the Caran D'ache Neocolor II aquaelle crayons on 200lb cold press watercolor paper.  

Howdy, I went to the SDAI gallery life drawing session again last night. It was pretty good once things got moving. The regular area was being used for a reception for the theatre there so we all had to go draw in the basement of the theatre. It was actually kinda cool there. We just had to improvise with furniture to draw on. 

Here's the final horses using Caran D'ache aquaelle crayons. It didn't quite come out the way I was origionally picturing that it would. I may try doing it again soon using different colors. 

Here's another one from tonite using these Yarka crayon stick things that I got like years ago and never used. They were a lot tougher to do and shading with as they really didn't smear well. Maybe I've just grown used to charcoal but I like it much better. This was also on newspaper. 

Here was from tonite's life drawing class. I did about 5 diff ones instead of working on just one the whole session. I was trying to focus more on the form rather than the details. I was also playing with different media on each of them. This was different shades of grey charcoal on newspaper. 

Here's the horse picure. Got more work done on it. I got more caran d'ache crayons. I needed more reds and orange colors. 

Good evening. I just got back from life drawing at the SDAI gallery(San Diego Art Institute) open session. It went pretty good tonite. I definitely had some problems but overall I had a good time. This was charcoal on strathemore paper.  

Here's one that Im working on using the caran d'ache aquaelle crayons, still needs a lot of work. I'm not quite getting the reds and oranges that I want. 

....and another. 

Howdy, here's some more life drawing stuff. Nothing great but getting the feel for it.
