Overworked

18 overworked

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop (I took a Victoria Sandwich for tea break) and I concentrated on this one long pose. It’s on an A3 canvas sheet, prepared with scribbly oil bar in yellow ochre. I drew with carbon and white oil pastel. It was a nice pose but difficult with both hands and feet – lots of hard work. The right foot is way overworked; I just couldn’t get it right and kept going over it. I should have left it sketchy. Still, there’s enough in it to work from and it will probably be adapted and used in some future work.

  1. I am 404, but I like your sketch. Would you haven’t said anything about the right foot, I would haven’t noticed it. 😉 But yourself is often very self-critical. I know that, too. Happy weekend! 😀

  2. i like the right foot…its extra detail fits with the foreshortening !!…ps thanks for your blog
