Welcome to my Art Blog! I paint or draw most weekdays and often finish a painting a day. I fondly call them my "Postcards from Paradise" because it's such a beautiful place the Lord made here for us.

Recent Figure Studies in Charcoal and Chalk

We've had many overcast or rainy days here lately, so I delayed shooting my most recent set of life drawings until there was better natural light. I finally got a little sunshine time for photographing my work. Here is the pick of the litter.

Each of them were
studies of approximately 20 minutes, drawn from the live model. You can purchase these and other figure studies here.

Lovely charcoal drawings, Diana. Hate those days that you can't photograph but enjoyed the drawings. Thanks for commenting on my blog.

Amazing work Diana. Figure studies are not easy...you have mastered it.

Thank you, Hilda. I don't feel like I've mastered it at all but I do love working toward that.
