Last week I had a good life drawing session with lots of dynamic and interesting poses. I drew in conte pastel for the first half, which was an attempt to shake me up a bit and loosen my drawings. Though everything felt a bit messy I think it was good as an exercise....
My first drawing session after Christmas, and I was quite rusty ... it took me a while to warm up. We had a break just as I was beginning to feel I could draw again!
What with packing up and moving across most of the country and Christmas and New Year, it's taken me a while to post some of my life drawing sketches from December. Here's a selection!
Janey was the life model at this Tuesday's session, and she brought her dog along! It was fun to do quick gestures of the dog while also capturing her lovely poses.
Andy was modelling at this week's life drawing. He held some great poses, including one where he played the guitar. As he was actually playing the guitar rather than pretending to, I feel the final drawing has real movement.
Moving for work has meant I've had to search for another life drawing class ... thankfully this last week I found one! It's a great little group and the model this week, Helen, came up with some lovely poses. It'll be good to get back into regular classes again.
I liked this bust of George Roberts, Provost of Selkirk in the 1800s, and had to draw it.
The Gaelic King is now available through Amazon, iTunes, HMV and Zoom in the UK! It’s exciting to know the film is out there, and people are watching this story for the first time. I thought I’d share some of the work I’ve done on the film from the last two years....
It was the final life drawing session last week, modelled by Ina. I'll miss the weekly sketching, but hopefully this will push me to draw more the rest of the time.
