Here’s the one-hour final pose at Thursday’s life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I broke out the Daler Rowney Artist’s soft pastels and worked onto a heavy vintage paper. I had enough time to work up some of the details, especially in the model’s own beautiful quilt. A Chance To Own One Of My ArtworksContinue reading “The Beautiful Quilt”

Drag Them On Their Side
Here’s another life drawing from this week’s session. It’s a 20 minute pose and I used the large wall mirrors; I preferred what I saw in the mirror, it’s nice to draw a back view for a change. I used black and sanguine conte crayons onto vintage paper. I like using conte crayons, they drawContinue reading “Drag Them On Their Side”
Two Fives And A Ten
Just back rom life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. Good session tonight. Lovely model and I really got into the zone. Here are the warm up drawings, two five minute poses and then a ten minute. I used conte crayon onto some vintage paper I have knocking around. I love the shorter poses because theyContinue reading “Two Fives And A Ten”
Framing The Model
Here’s the last life drawing I did at this week’s session, it’s a 50 minute pose and I used Daler Rowney Artist’s soft pastels onto a heavyweight vintage paper. It’s always a bit of a problem fitting the model onto the paper, so framing the subject is important. I decided to put our model intoContinue reading “Framing The Model”
A Bit Skewiff
Here’s a 30 minute drawing from the life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop the other evening. I went a bit skewiff with this one, with some deliberately wobbly lines, having a bit of fun with the shapes and pushing myself away from representational drawing. I’m using Daler Rowney soft pastels onto vintage paper. AContinue reading “A Bit Skewiff”
Taking Liberties
Here’s another life drawing from yesterday evening’s session at Swansea Print Workshop. I use standard sheets of paper and rarely cut them into another shape, which I suppose is a bit lazy. It’s often difficult to fit the subject into the paper without either cutting bits off or having lots of empty space. I loveContinue reading “Taking Liberties”
Just Back …..
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. It’s late and I’m off to bed soon. Here’s a 10 minute pose from our brilliant model. I drew with sanguine and black conte crayons onto vintage paper. Nos Da, Good Night
The One Full Hour
We have a tea break half way through the 3 hour life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. Before the break we do a series of short poses but then in the second half we have just one full-hour pose. I have mixed feelings about these. There’s a lot to be said for having someContinue reading “The One Full Hour”
Wicked Foreshortening
Here’s a reclining pose from last week’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. It’s got wicked foreshortening, which I love but I think it’s really hard to draw. I used white, sanguine and black conte crayons onto a lovely soft, textured vintage black paper. It was given to me by a friend from theContinue reading “Wicked Foreshortening”
The Building Blocks
This is one of the 30 minute poses from this week’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. It wasn’t enough time to complete it but I like drawings that are unfinished, I like to see the building blocks of the image. I really like the hands in this pose. I used black, white andContinue reading “The Building Blocks”
