Another drawing from last night’s televised life drawing session from the National Gallery in London, drawn from my settee, I could happily do this more often. This model held a 14 minute pose and I drew with conte crayons in black, sanguine and white into a spiral bound, A3, brown paper sketchbook. Working onto a light brown background gave me an extra tone to work with.
The model was posing in front of a self-portrait by the 18th century French painter Elisabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun and was wearing clothes and sat in a pose similar to the artist.
