There is no subject more challenging than sketching
or painting from life.  The variations of the human body, its moods, movements and makeup are endless and I
never tire of drawing from life.  While much of life drawing is often an exercise, I find many of the results beautiful and inspirational in other areas
of my art work. 

I do hundreds of sketches each year.  It is fascinating

to study the figure drawings

of other artists as it divulges much about their methods

and thought processes.

Much is communicated

by the human figure.
