Costumed Figure Drawing - Around LA

Figure Drawing - Wednesday Nights

The last two Wednesdays I sat in on Kathy Karol's class at Santa Monica College.  I don't believe my work schedule will allow this luxury anymore this Fall/Winter but I did it for 2 weeks and it always makes me happy. These are some of my favorite poses week 1 with Mia.

Here are the results.  I was amazed
