Inspired by my students and their artwork, I'm finally making time to go life drawing regularly again. This was a more experimental portrait of Colin, A1, 15 minutes #drawing #charcoaldrawing #sketch #doodle #lifedrawing #backtolife(drawing)

It's almost Easter which means my teaching is winding down for the year. It's sad that I won't get to see my students each week, but it does mean I get time to spend my lunch breaks at the Sainsbury centre again (which is an art gallery, rather than a museum dedicated to the supermarket). Here's today's 20 minute sketch #drawing #sketch #artistsoninstagram #moleskine #outofpractice (at Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts)
