Library Talk

"Jaime." Charcoal. ©2002 Karine Swenson

Happy Friday, everyone! I finally have my talk at the library uploaded to youtube.com. It was much more complicated than I had imagined it would be. I have to thank Marjorie Franklin for her generous tech support. She is the person who managed to get the video in the correct format. Thanks Marjorie! I also want to thank her husband, Alex Prisadsky, for his skill with the video camera. Here it is! There are four segments, and the whole talk lasts about 53 minutes.

Drawing the figure

We woke up to a cool and cloudy day. No rain so far, but the change is welcome. I intend to spend the rest of the day in the studio, but I did want to quickly post some new art for you from the life drawing.

This first one is a 25 minute pose, charcoal on paper. From Thursday night.



This one is pastel on La Carte paper, the 3 1/2 hour pose from Friday. I am thinking I will work on it a bit more, since I did take a photograph of the pose.
