Portrait study, about 30 minutes
I try to get along to life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop as often as I can, to get in the practice. It’s not always easy, it’s quite late in the evening and sometimes I’m so tired it’s hard to focus. This was one of those weeks. I did a couple of quick sketches to warm up but I didn’t think I was getting anywhere so I did a study of our model’s hand and then a longer study of her face. I used willow charcoal and white conte crayon into an A2 size brown paper sketchbook.

I do agree, the hand sketch is sublime. Happy Monday to you! 🙂
Thank you 😀 We’re in the middle of a raging storm, I hope it misses the Baltic
I hope that, too. 😊
Marvellous drawings.
Thank you Michael
I really like the hand sketch
Thank you. It was nice to really focus on a hand for a while
