Here’s a lying-down pose from the side with some wicked foreshortening. I had fun with this, playing with my Caran D’Ache NeoPastels, not worrying too much about being realistic, although I was intently focused on accurately capturing the extreme perspective of the 25-minute pose. I have a new exhibition coming up, “Carved Heads And OtherContinue reading “Life Drawing: Foreshortening”

Life Drawing: An In-Betweener
Here’s a15-minute pose from the recent life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. It’s beyond a short pose but falls short of a long pose – an in-betweener pose. I used Caran D’Ache NeoPastels onto repurposed paper prepared with left-over acrylic screenprint ink. I have a new exhibition coming up, “Carved Heads And Other Creatures”,Continue reading “Life Drawing: An In-Betweener”
Life Drawing: A Quick One
Here’s a quick 5-minute pose from the recent life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. I used Caran D’Ache NeoPastels onto repurposed paper prepared with left-over acrylic screenprint ink. I have a new exhibition coming up, “Carved Heads And Other Creatures”, part of MANIFEST at The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir. There’s a celebration event with me andContinue reading “Life Drawing: A Quick One”
Life Drawing: In The Mirror
Here’s a longer, 45 minute, pose from last night’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. I had a good angle that let me draw a mirror image as well. I used Caran D’Ache NeoPastels onto repurposed paper prepared with left-over acrylic screenprint ink. I have a new exhibition coming up, “Carved Heads And OtherContinue reading “Life Drawing: In The Mirror”
Life Drawing: A 60 Minute Portrait
I recently cut up a load of sheets of Bockingford paper that had failed prints on the back, and then I squeegeed the unprinted surface with left-over acrylic screen printing ink in a sort of grey-blue. I used a piece to do this portrait drawing with Caran d’Ache Neopastels. I kept the palette monochrome, IContinue reading “Life Drawing: A 60 Minute Portrait”
Life Drawing: Short Poses
Two of my latest sketches from this week’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. They are quick poses, one five minutes and the other 10. I used Caran d’Ache Neopastels onto vintage paper prepared with acrylic paint applied with a squeegee.
Life Drawing: Ambidextrous
This is the final drawing I did last week at the life drawing session. It’s a one-hour pose. I had used my left hand for most of the session, but I managed to use both for this and I think it worked reasonably well. I just used my right arm (I hurt it a coupleContinue reading “Life Drawing: Ambidextrous”
Life Drawing: Left Hand Again
I hurt my right arm, which made drawing painful, so I have been trying as much as possible to use my left hand. At this week’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop, I did some quick warm-up drawings with my left hand and then tried this longer one. After the practice I had aContinue reading “Life Drawing: Left Hand Again”
Life Drawing: Left Handed
I hurt my right arm the other week. I was being daft, trying to convince myself that I’m a few decades younger and that I could help to carry some heavy boxes that I really should have left to other, younger and stronger, people. Anyway, while it’s getting better, I’m having trouble with doing someContinue reading “Life Drawing: Left Handed”
Life Drawing: A Face In Profile
Here’s the last pose from the recent life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop, an hour long. I decided to go for a portrait because I really like faces in profile. I worked with Caran D’Ache NeoPastels onto vintage paper prepared with some left-over acrylic paint in a dusty pale blue. I don’t like workingContinue reading “Life Drawing: A Face In Profile”
