Life Drawing in Toronto and Durham, ON

 Life drawings from a few recent drawing sessions.

His right leg is way off...looks broken and out of proportion.  His hands are dead on though.

One was at the Atomic Lollipop convention in Toronto.  It was a fun convention with lots to do and see.  I networked with other like minded artists and creative types.  Of course having a background in crafting and craft show sales I usually do research and/or sales at a lot of the conventions I attend.  I've even got a job offer once from a convention contact so they are also places of opportunity because the networking they tend to encourage.   http://atomiclollipop.ca/

The other session with nude model was at The Colour Jar art supply store/studio in Durham, ON.  http://www.thecolourjar.ca/

This last one I did is my favorite of the session.

Cute Birds

Chickadees aren't known to complain.  They do share well when there's enough food for each to have a turn.  They seem to be less timid around humans than any other birds I've seen this year but less aggressive toward other bird breeds.

Miniature Greenhouse

Here's something I made in high school mostly out of clay and stuff sitting around at my Grandmother's house. A miniature green house which may or may not be used for stop motion before I get rid of it.  I have too much stuff apparently and this is damaged anyway (though you wouldn't know it from some camera angles).  I'd need to figure out how to keep the camera still while close enough and take the glass cover off each time moving the subjects inside it...need an idea that makes all the effort worth it...not sure if the little frog should be reworked to be a better looking main character or what I might think up...if anything. 
A poor gardener who experiences a loss perhaps?...

 

Materials are real soldered glass done by me with help holding glass, quick bake clay, plasticine, 2 berry baskets, coat hanger, thick foil, twist ties, real dirt, fake dirt, clear glue, little creamer cups, graphite and wood.  No frogs were harmed in the making of this miniature greenhouse.
