Self portraits

I really enjoy life classes, but they necessarily involve a sequence of relatively short poses. Typically three 3 minute warm ups,, a couple of 10 minute poses and perhaps a couple of 30 minute poses. So we need to work relatively quickly. Which is great, but I felt I needed more time, so I bought a mirror. Here a couple of the ensuing self portraits. The chalk and charcoal allow me to easily wipe out, rework and build tone. It’s good to be able to spend time on a drawing. I’m learning a lot.
