Here’s the 60 minute pose from last week’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. I like the quicker poses because they lead to more energised drawings but the long pose allows me to concentrate on technical practice. I used a sanguine coloured conté crayon onto a heavyweight ivory coloured vintage handmade paper. The foot isContinue reading “The Foreshortened Foot”

The 60 Minute Pose
Here’s a 60 minute pose from life drawing session a few nights ago at Swansea Print Workshop. It has some difficult foreshortening and I ended up with two hands, two feet and a head which is a lot of drawing. It’s distorted but I like that. I admire the work of Egon Schiele, who alsoContinue reading “The 60 Minute Pose”
A Change Of Paper
I’ve been working on black paper for a few weeks, in life drawing, but I ran out last night so I switched to some lovely old heavyweight handmade ivory paper that I was given a whle back. I carried on using the conté crayons though, in black, sanguine and white. The new paper completely alteredContinue reading “A Change Of Paper”
Another Night At Life Drawing
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Worksop and I’m shattered. So I’m off to bed. I used black, white and sanguine conté crayons onto black paper.
No Foreshortening
Here’s a 20 minute pose I did during the latest life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. I didn’t particularly like the angle but with the Covid19 restrictions, we can’t move around the drawing studio to find another vantage point, like we used to – we have fixed workstations now – so I had toContinue reading “No Foreshortening”
The Twenty Five Minute Pose
Here’s another of my life drawings from Thursday evening at Swansea Print Workshop. Our model is really good, he’s been working with us for over a decade now, since his late teens. He’s available for modelling work on- and offline – please message me for his contact details if you want to work with him.Continue reading “The Twenty Five Minute Pose”
Quick Poses
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop this evening – we had a 2 week break during the “firebreak” lockdown in Wales. I didn’t take enough paper with me so I used this brown wrapping paper for the two 5 minute poses, with black and white conté crayons. Anyway, it’s getting late andContinue reading “Quick Poses”
Standing Sequence
Here’s the long pose I did last week at the Life Drawing sesison at Swansea Print Workshop. It was almost an hour and I used black, sanguine and white conté crayon onto black paper. Our model is fantastic. Well, they all are actually. The unsung heroes of the art world. The life drawing sessions areContinue reading “Standing Sequence”
The Janus Mask
Here’s another life drawing from the session at Swansea Print Workshop the other evening, with a 30 minute pose drawn with black, white and sanguine conté crayon onto black paper. Our marvellous model wore two masks on the front and back of her head, like a Janus figure. I did some baking today. We’re onContinue reading “The Janus Mask”
The Masked Model
This is the 10 minute pose I did at last night’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. Our masked model is fabulous, such a great personality and that shows in her poses – mind you, all our models have loads of personality. Life models are the unsung heroes of the art world. I usedContinue reading “The Masked Model”
