[Hanna Larsson]

I have attended a figure drawing class and I concentrated on the model's face a couple of times.

Her name is Helena and she will pose for me more, although the figure class is over. I think she has an interesting face and made a deal with her that we should get together and do some portrait studies. If she sits for me a couple of hours at a couple of occasions she will get a couple of potraits/sketches. Can that be reasonable?

This allows me to practice and practice; different angles, different lighting and different expressions with someone who actually can hold a pose. I can vary the time I use to do the portraits and the style and medium. It will be so much fun!

I will post most of them here in this thread so you can see how it proceeds, and hopefully get an idea of what she looks like.

Here is the first one in what will hopefully be plenty. Graphite on light beige sketching paper. Time spent on her face maybe 3 minutes. Height of head 4,5 cm.
