Favorite work of my own are 1 minute to under an hour live life Drawing pieces. All of us who attend the sessions usually warm up with 1,2,3,5 then 10minute to 15 and finally 30 minutes poses or longer. I find the time limit and the thought process of what is crucial to the pose to be challenging and often rewarding with line texture, marks and a range of depths depending on the medium.
