During last Monday night's Dive Bar Doodles ... Unfortunately, I lost my glasses and considered having to cancel the meetup, however, decided to just go make it happen anyway & try a little blind contour drawing instead! We moved to a new location and enjoyed a little Motown on Monday in honor of Aretha Franklin. Even the DJ, Malachi, came over to doodle for a moment! - check out some of the drawings! #contourdrawing #art #CottonTurner #DiveBarDoodles #sketching #doodling #momoak (at The Legionnaire Saloon)

Figure drawing at Neologian Gallery ... thanks Jesse Neologian Flora for organizing & for the invite! Thanks to the model who posed tirelessly for the group. Thanks to the boyfriend who drove to Redwood City & bravely participated in drawing with me. It's so important to exercise your drawing skills on a regular basis ... it really helps strengthen you artistically. This is a great start to an exciting month of birthday festivities! #art #figuredrawing #study #humanform #drawme #Thursdays #sketch #redwoodcity (at Jack London Square)
