Spent the day visiting museums. Took a short pause to sketch some sculptures by Edgar Degas at the @guggenheim . Loved the raw and unpolished texture of them. The scale was fairly small but expressive. I got quite a few compliments on my backpack that makes it really convenient to sketch on site. It’s a fishing backpack with a built in seat frame. Hope everyone is having a great start to your week.

MASTERY: hour •2
The nature of the works at MOMA don’t necessarily lend themselves to be subjects for the more academic drawings I typically do at museums. Nonetheless I attended their free Friday night to reinvigorate my passion for creating. While strolling through the museum I kept a watchful eye out for anything that may be suitable for a drawing. I came across Head of Montserra II by Julio Gonzalez. A bronze portrait bust of a woman screaming. I made about 3 attempts to sketch this sculpture, all while wearing a pair of red glasses to highlight the contrast in values. It had been a while since I have done any observational drawing, which has become increasingly difficult because of some issues with my eye sight as well as body injuries. I was quite pleased with the opportunity to get lost in the drawing and dip into a state of flow where the eye and the hand work with some automaticity. Here are the results. I am also including some warm up sketches I did while on the train so that you can see the progression from the sketch to the final.
