Drawings of Figures

Shane McDonald has worked from the live human figure on a regular basis since his career began in the early 1990s. He has hosted weekly open figure life drawing/painting sessions ever since he opened his studio. Many of his sketches are further developed into more finished drawings or paintings. These drawings are available for sale, and might be the affordable art you need for your collection.
