Like a Ninja

Washington Park is for Ninja Drawing Sessions...

The Disadvantage of Low Rise, 2013

Krystal Booth

 

 

I felt that the second sketch needed such a title.  Low Rise jeans were invented for standing people who never want to sit down.  haha  But yes, Mom jeans are equally bad for opposite reasons.  Perhaps we are about to enter the Golden Age of Jeans, as Goldie Locks has tried both and is ready for the pair that is just right.

 

Ninja drawings sessions have been fun at Washington Park.  I try to stay undetected so they don't get self-conscious.  It's about getting them down on my paper as fast as possible.  It is an authentic real-life, real-time session of Figure Drawing on crack.  Hurry!  Hurry!  Get it down!  He's about to move - Fast - get down the angle of his arm!

Work #2 for 2013: Arboretum

Hello!  Just thought that I'd share this with you before posting it on Etsy tonight.  It is a graphite drawing based on a photo taken during a venture to the Portland Arboretum.

If you live in the Portland, Oregon area, I hope that you have visited this place.  It's spectacular with great walking paths and a great way to spend a couple of hours.  Being midwesterners, the height of the redwoods and others blew our minds.  We felt extremely humbled in their presence.

 

Now I'm off to my part-time job and tonight will be another painting session...hopefully more fruitful than last night's struggle session. haha

Enjoy your day!
