Lots of figure drawing this fall at live model sessions. It’s been a great season of creative exploration.
I I will be putting together a new “Fishing with John” figure drawing post soon..

Happy Halloween!
I attended an excellent costumed figure drawings session at @savannahopenmodel
I forgot to the stem on the large round glasses of the model and picked up some glam Nosferatu vibes and just rolled with it!
we had some fun with the long pose and I finished it out this morning..

This is the set I have. I’ve had them for a long time, but have only recently been taking them seriously as a medium of their own.
The problem in the past was I used them like regular watercolor. But I recently found they work best when you treat them like pastels- you just blend them with water.

Watercolor pastel on cardboard. (Also called water-soluble crayons) and acrylic.
I’ve been experimenting using the material, but this was my first attempt at using it for a painting.

It was a whirlwind, but I had a great time working on commissions and selling art and meeting some lovely folks at FWA last weekend!
Forgot to take pictures of some of them, and I’ve got a WHOLE bunch more to work on.
