Young people on transit

I wonder what it's like to be a female riding on transit staring out the window in deep thought when suddenly a guy approaches you with a sketchbook and on the page is a drawing of you... as he begins to smile.

Drawing on the bus today...

This was a young Queen on the transit. I did a quick sketch and added the gouache wash right there on transit. Tremendously uncomfortable but the lighting was so nice I had to try and capture it.

I drew one of my students as she drew the plants.

This was a draw/ painting demo

This was a demo drawing/painting I did of one of my students. She was deeply into her work at peace and I had to capture it. I build beautiful relationships through teaching. The instruction I offer helps people in so many different ways. The bond that this student and I have is expressed in the care I took in rendering this work.
