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.

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

Wonderful colours in this drawing.
Thank you 🙂
Love the colours. I had to do a similar pose in a life drawing class once – very difficult – well done.
Thanks 🙂 I love the extreme foreshortening.
Hot colors…very nice.
