This was the final pose for the final hour at the recent life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. I’d familiarised myself with the model’s face with a series of quick sketches ranging from 5 to 30 minutes. Then I had an hour to play with this pose. I did a 20 minute sketch (top left) then I decided I wanted to change my drawing style and do something more sculptural which took up the last 40 minutes. I think there’s scope to turn this into a linocut – watch this space…
Drawn with a graphite block onto a heavyweight vintage paper (no watermark).
