Just Back From Life Drawing

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop this evening, working with a terrific model, a strong woman with confidence and attitude. Here’s a 10 minute and a 30 minute pose using conté crayons onto black paper. Really tired now though – 3 hours after a day working. Nos da. Good night.

Cake And Life Drawing

  Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I haven’t been for a while as life has been getting in the way so I made a pineapple upside down cake for our tea break. I drew with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet with a free Markers app, working with white pens overContinue reading “Cake And Life Drawing”

Strong Face, Big Character

  I sometimes do some portrait practice at life drawing sessions and I had a go at Swansea Print Workshop last night. Our model, an older woman, has such a strong face and a big character which shows through in her expressions. I drew onto my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet with a free MarkersContinue reading “Strong Face, Big Character”

A Late Quickie (Female Nude)

  Just back from life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop. This evening’s model is an older woman who has been modelling for years. I never tire of drawing her. This is a quick warm-up sketch on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet using a free Markers app. I blocked in a black background toContinue reading “A Late Quickie (Female Nude)”

Another Life Drawing (Female Nude)

  Here’s the second study I did at life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop in the week. I worked on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 using a free app called Markers. I put in a black ground to start with and then worked on top with white and coloured pen functions. It’s a different approachContinue reading “Another Life Drawing (Female Nude)”

Just Back (Female Nude)

  I’m just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop, working this week with a super middle-aged female model who has great presence. I was reading a blog about the relationship between artists and models by fellow artist Michael Richards earlier today, where he explores the collaboration between the two. It’s a good read.Continue reading “Just Back (Female Nude)”

Life Drawing And Lemon Cake

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I drew with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet with the free Markers app. The pose was for an hour and I built up the drawing gradually. I saved every few seconds and I’m going to edit all the saved drawings together to make an animation,Continue reading “Life Drawing And Lemon Cake”

AfterLife

That’s after life drawing, which finished about half an hour ago at Swansea Print Workshop and I’m squeezing in a quick blog before I go to bed. This is the warm up drawing I did, just a few minutes to get used to the pose and I used my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with aContinue reading “AfterLife”

A Digital Head

I’m making some headway (pardon the pun) with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet. I haven’t drawn with it for a couple of years but I restarted a couple of weeks ago in life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop. I’m using a free app called Markers and I like the simplicity of it. However,Continue reading “A Digital Head”

Life Drawing And Cake

This is a fairly quick drawing I did at life drawing session in Swansea Print Workshop on Thursday evening. I’m getting back into drawing with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 using the free Markers app. There is some quite extreme foreshortening with that right foot.   I took along an apricot upside-down cake for theContinue reading “Life Drawing And Cake”
