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”
Just Back From Life Drawing
Just got back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop, working with a fabulous model with a funky mask and great poses. This is a five minute one in conté crayon – white, sanguine and black – onto black paper. I’m off to bed now, after my nice cuppa. Nos da. Good night 😀
The Last Pose Step By Step
Here’s the final pose I did at this week’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. It was about 50 minutes long and I was able to get into quite a bit of detail. I started with some squiggles in white conté crayon onto black paper, to map out the basic figure. Then I putContinue reading “The Last Pose Step By Step”
Two Shorts And A Medium
Some more drawings from last night’s life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop. Above is a 20 minute pose, I like it very much, it’s a bit Renaissanc-ey. Below, two start-up poses, five minutes each. These quick ones train your eye to analyse and draw the essentials, not the detail. Good practice. Drawn onto blackContinue reading “Two Shorts And A Medium”
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.
