This was the life study I did at last weeks life drawing class. I started with a light drawing in conte then washes of gouache and finally drawing again in conte and some pastels.

As title suggest the object of this lesson was to observe the model and draw without looking at your drawing. We were to stand side on to the easel stopping any temptation to peek at what our hand was drawing.
