Course work: Four 30-second gestures.
I found the instructions under “Quick Studies” to be somewhat unclear, and elected to do one series of five ten-minute sketches (now completed), then do a second series using a shorter time.
Two five-minute sketches were done: the standing sketch was no worse than I had expected, but while doing the sitting sketch I was overtaken by time pressure and did rather poorly.

Michael Mattesi Force: The Key to Capturing Life Through Drawing
iUniverse Star, New York, 2004
Pp. 125-146
Personal sketchbook work: A hasty colored pencil sketch of a late-evening sky clearing after a thunderstorm. This would be sufficient to design a painting, although as it stands its identity would be unclear without a label.
Total time: 32 minutes (31h9m)
