    Life Drawing #35 – Marcus

    Compare to the previous week this was night and day, much better. I am on a ‘back to basics’ kick, helped in part by a certain unexploded WW2 bomb which meant I didn’t want to walk to Kingston with a heavy rucksack with all my paints and Poscas! This meant no acrylics, no Posca drawings,…
