Pencil drawing this weeks model

We all thought the model was Scandinavian this week, turned out she was from Belgium, I was surprised that she started the two hour session with a smile and a gaze that looked straight out at us , blimey she won't hold that for two hours, I thought, but she did, and I think the steely determination shows.
One student wondered how to paint the colour of her hair,
"You will have to ask my hairdresser" she helpfully quipped, before adding
"It has highlights" ... bringing up the difficult problem of colour versus tone  

Latest drawings from life

 A different model this week, an element of the young Paul Weller I thought at the time, not immediately obvious from this drawing, but it was what I was thinking as I drew him. He was reading a book which was propped on a chair in front of him, he asked for a book on Freud, Lucian I presumed, but none could be found so he is gazing intently at a book of Klimt's paintings.
