My figure drawing class, which I teach every monday afternoon, is going very well. The light in my studio is very unique, diffused, descending from the twelve by eighteen foot skylight above. The light falls softly, with gentle transitions from light to shadow on the figure.

While teaching my students, I usually do a small sketch on the side, in my spare moments. I like these sketches, as they have such immediacy, and are not over thought. They are just simple observations of a beautiful moment.
