Another lovely evening at the AGN's open life drawing. We were only 5 including the model. Where is everyone?

Second watercolour in a series? Hard to paint in PH when you're stuck in TO. Not sure when the next one will be...

It's post day and my mind is a complete blank. Dog hair has somehow come into play. A lot of people remark about the hair in the drawings and I was thinking back to just when I started drawing hair in detail. That's where the dog hair comes in: Commercial packaging of dog (and cat) related products and a graphic designers need to change the background colour on which the animal was shot. I redrew a lot of hair back then so that it wouldn't look like it was cut out with a pair of dull scissors. Hair, like everything else in drawing, is just a question of lights and darks and it never takes half as long as it looks like it should.

(I guess not a complete blank after all...)
