Monday Night Life Drawing


It was an all Japanese night, except for the music. Ashley modeled for the class in a traditional Japanese kimono that she got on her recent trip to the land of the rising sun. This 15 minute sketch in conte and pastel was my favorite. We listened to Fleetwood Mac and Chopin.

Nice!
If I was in the area I would definitely attend.
Next Japanese Night try some Keiko Matsui or Hiroshima as your musical background...

Dana- Thanks for the comment. I "moderate" comments before they are posted because I was getting really strange stuff from unknown sources!?! I think it confuses folks though because their comment does not post immediately.
