J. leaning on the chairback

I've been going to life drawing 2-3 times a week. We have 3-hour one-pose sessions (in 20-min. segments) because nearly everyone paints an oil in that time.

That's a total luxury and I've learned to slow down, or change positions to get a different angle for my drawings.

And I'm going to start painting too, just to take advantage of this special setup while it is still going. A rare opportunity to learn from the painters around me.
