Our favorite art event of the month- the last Wednesday of the month at Chat Noir. 

Between crosshatching those buttons for hours and the rain I was NOT in the groove last nite. 

We did a bunch of one minute gesture sketches which are usually great but the model moved making them harder than usual.  



1 minute gesture sketches. Was NOT in the groove. Pentel brush pen with a prepainted background in my Strathmore 500 mixed media journal. 



Not sure how long these were. Two minutes perhaps. Same poise reversed. Pentel brush pen with a prepainted background in my Strathmore 500 mixed media journal. 

5 minutes but she moved the whole time.  At least I am going with that excuse. I didn’t draw because I was getting frustrated with the model moving all the time. 

Finally she held still.  I drew her with my Noodler Creaper Ahab which I love loaded with Carbon Platinum black ink. Things improved somewhat. But I only had red Tombow markers, a gold Pitt pen, and the Pentel brush pen. Poor planning. All the pink and red is done with the tombow. 

Thanks for looking.
