Figure Drawing Class 1

I forgot my camera this week so no pictures of student work. Here's a drawing done after Pontormo's Nude Study, red chalk, which I copied from The Drawings of Pontormo, Master Draughtsman Series. The books are published by Bordon, and, like the Dover Art Library publications are inexpensive and portable. The guy in the drawing reminds me a bit of Preston, the portrait model, from last week's class.
