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.
Overworked

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

Why not come down and try the life drawing at The Broadway Drawing School in Cardiff? Feet and hands a speciality!
hm a change might be rather nice 🙂
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! 😀
Thank you. It’s sticking out like a sore thumb! 🙂
Great sketch. I like the yellow.
Thanks – I’ve been pre-colouring a lot of my paper and canvas with yellow ochre
i like the right foot…its extra detail fits with the foreshortening !!…ps thanks for your blog
Thank you for reading it 😀
