Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop this evening, great session. I really like to work with this older model, so interesting to draw and very experienced. These are the quick poses, two @ 5 minutes and one @ 10 minutes. I used black and sanguine conte crayons onto vintage paper. A ChanceContinue reading “Some Quickies”

This Was Awkward…
This was an awkward pose to do, lots of twists and turns, like the left arm and hand twisting around to settle awkwardly on top of the right hand. and the twist of the left leg and foot away from the right. Just those little adjustments in stance can make for a whole lot ofContinue reading “This Was Awkward…”
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.

Little World In The Woods
I’ve been on holiday, visiting relatives in the North of England, a lovely break from the pandemic routine and the first time I’ve seen my family in about 18 months – too long but there we go. My littlest relative took me to see his special place in the local woods. He calls it GarlicvilleContinue reading “Little World In The Woods”
Nearly Finished The Sky
I did a bit more work on the sky painting I started yesterday at Ed Sumner’s online “Cheese and Wine Painting Club“. I think I’ll have to do a bit more faffing; a couple of the smaller clouds are too dark and there’s more to be done on the reflections of the clouds in theContinue reading “Nearly Finished The Sky”
Halfway Through The Sky
I’m about half way through this cloud painting that I started in the Cheese and Wine Painting Club over on Facebook earlier today. Ed Sumner usually chooses a painting by an established historical artist but this week chose to work from a photograph to give us some intense training in painting clouds. I really likeContinue reading “Halfway Through The Sky”
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”
