Nothing much — just a practice / 単なる練習。それだけ

“Acting nuts” at a croquis session — / クロッキー会での奇行?
You know, at many croquis sessions, the artists are not supposed to ask the model to “take a —- pose”. The model usually decides what pose he/she takes. And at my croquis sessions, some 20 artists surround the model. Quite … Continue reading

Dyeing failures / 染めの失敗(複数)
