Portrait sketches

Portrait sketching with models at the Island Art Association is over until we start up again in the fall but we had a "show" of work done this past year on Saturday.  I started drawing with this group last fall and it re-awakened for me the joy of just taking charcoal or pencil to paper and having a good time with it.   I have also noticed an improvement in how I sketch in for my paintings so it has been a really useful tool as well as a good time.  Below are some of the sketches I did this past year in that group.
