Figure Drawing

 

Sketch from life drawing session thursday night at Bijan School of Art. Drop in life drawing sessions are every thursday night from 7 to 10pm and cost is only $10, with poses ranging from 30 seconds to 30 minute. This is much larger than I usually work and not black and white. (conte on manila paper, image size 16″x11″) Looking forward to going again next week.

Don Giovanni

Last fall on my trip to Italy, I attended the opera "Don Giovanni” at Teatro La Fenice. Thoroughly enjoyed it, despite the fact that I did not understand a word of it.... the music of Mozart was amazing. I was working on this artwork last Saturday afternoon and listening to Saturday afternoon at the Opera on CBC Radio. Ironically featured was "Nézet-Séguin’s first release Don Giovanni, featuring Ildebrando D’Arcenagelo, Vitalij Kowaljow, Diana Damrau, Rolando Villazon, Joyce DiDonato and Luca Pisaroni." Again, I didn’t understand a word of it, but enjoyed it. (Watercolour and ink, image size 7"x10")
