INK CAN BE SUCH AN EXCITING MEDIUM...while this paper is not absorbent,, it allows some pooling and dripping that can create nice effects

welcome

ruthdraws
Welcome to my portfolio. I really love drawing faces and figures, and have been doing so , on and off, for years. I go to a life drawing group, and enjoy so very much the wonderful flow and rhythm to it..first warming up the hand and eye with one minute poses, moving on through 5, then 10, 15 then 20 minute or longer poses. Here are some examples of each...on the better days!
