This is one of our wonderful models from Swansea’s life drawing group. She’s a retired teached who has the most marvellous tattoos over her body; ants and flies running around being chased by lizards; pitcher plants and orchids trailing over her back and shoulders. I’ve used some of her tattoos as motifs in other parts of the drawing. She has a whole new career since she retired, inspiring artists.
Orchids and Lizards

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D View more posts

I loved to draw from bigger (fat) models in college…now I only have my wife 🙂
oooffff! At this rate, it won’t just be a new kitchen she’ll be wanting 🙂
Such a beautiful picture, so much love in it 🙂
Thank you 🙂 She is a marvellous model and I have so much respect for her
Today I treated myself to an A6 sketchbook and then sketched fellow passengers on the train to Salford. Is this the top of the slippery slope…!
