So glad to have found a figure drawing group that really meets regularly. Hope it doesn't get too crowded---it has been wonderful to have the sense of serenity and ample space that have been 
present so far. I could wish for longer poses than 25 minute ones, but I'm grateful for what the sessions provide as is.

Sorry to be late in thanking you wonderful people. I've been knee-deep in...stuff. I know it must be hard to think of new comments when I'm doing so many figure drawings, but I really appreciate your taking the time to make them.

Wonderful confident contour work Laura and delicate subtle shading. Gorgeous. :o) Makes me miss my LD sessions all the more.... :o(

The way you can define planes with that light, loose hatching just knocks me out.

As always, Laura, exquisitely done!

Wow, wonderful job on these models! I need to get brave and try this one of these days. Thanks for always presenting new things to encourage the rest of us!
