Reclining Pose

Feb adjusted

Each day, the lurgi seems a bit weaker and I went to life drawing tonight, for the first time in a month! I only managed an hour but I did some quick pen and ink sketches, using a traditional dip pen and then I used chalky pastels and graphite block (6B) to draw this fabulous reclining pose. I love the challenge of foreshortening and this is a particular favourite model. This drawing has a lot of potential for development into a mixed media piece or a large monotype. I’m hoping to get back to the studio next week to get stuck into some serious art.

  1. Fabulous Rosie – and such a difficult pose too. Its easy to get that so wrong – Ive been there and done that too but thats the wonderful thing about drawing from life its a great discipline. Love your choice of colour and the line quality is superb. Brilliant drawing!
