5,10,15 & 20 Minute Poses

Monday's figure drawing at the Riley Street art store. Our excellent model for the night was Chris Matthews. I got there late, which means I missed the warm up of gestures poses. So for these drawings I wanted to keep that loose rhythmic feeling and combine it with a painterly look of shapes illuminated from light. These poses range from 5,10,15 & 20 minutes.
