I’m always up for a recliner at life drawing, even though I often get some wicked foreshortening to draw. And last night’s session at Swansea Print Workshop handed me this one! Not only foreshortening but also an upside down head as well. And an awkward hand. Ah well, it’s good practice. A Chance To OwnContinue reading “30 Minutes Of Foreshortening Hell”

Short Poses, Late Night
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. These are two of the short poses we do at the beginning – 5 minutes and 10 minutes – to warm up. Tired now so I’m off to bed. Nos Da. Good Night xx A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have some smallContinue reading “Short Poses, Late Night”
Faking It In The Evening
Started faking Salvador Dali’s painting “Christ Of Saint John Of The Cross” this evening with a Zoom tutorial by the painter Ed Sumner. Good to study this one up close and really get into the process of how Dali put it together. It’s all about the life drawing. At this stage anyway. Tutorial part 2Continue reading “Faking It In The Evening”
Living On In The Digital World
Sometimes when I’m drawing I end up preferring an unfinished version, and that happened here with this recent life drawing. I often photograph them with my phone at different stages and the one above is my favourite. But you never know until you finish, and I carried on working in more detail. So the oneContinue reading “Living On In The Digital World”
Three Short Poses Over Time
One of the really good things about life drawing sessions at Swansea Print Workshop is the variety of models who pose for us and I enjoy working with such a range of body types and ages. This older model is very experienced and he’s been posing for our group for many years. It’s a privilegeContinue reading “Three Short Poses Over Time”
Crowd Surf My Coffin
Oh WOW! It was so good to be at a live gig this week, Skindred at The Tramshed in Cardiff, first gig in over 18 months. It was AWESOME! I was so energised and danced and bounced for hours (killed me for the next two days though). But I still found a bit of timeContinue reading “Crowd Surf My Coffin”
Weird Angles
Here’s a recent life drawing which is quite academic in the way I approached it. Our model was standing on a low table and I was sitting on a chair looking up slightly so I got to draw from an interesting but weird angle, and I needed to make sure I had the proportions andContinue reading “Weird Angles”
Marks Of A Life Lived
Here’s the long pose from the most recent life drawing session. I had a good viewing position, with some great foreshortening on that right leg. I love foreshortening. It drives me nuts when I’m doing it but I enjoy a challenge! Our model bears the marks of a life lived on her body, with aContinue reading “Marks Of A Life Lived”
Recycle and Draw
For this life drawing I recycled a drawing I’d done before that I wasn’t happy with, done with my home-made walnut ink and a dip pen. It just didn’t work out so, waste not, want not. Because I was working on top of existing lines, I relaxed and let myself go a bit, didn’t getContinue reading “Recycle and Draw”
Life Drawing And Home Cooking
This life model likes to hold an unusual pose and this one was great, but an upside down face is really hard to draw. And the foreshortening was wicked. I used Daler Rowney artist’s pastels onto a heavy textured vintage paper, size about A1 – quite big. There was a spotlight on over our modelContinue reading “Life Drawing And Home Cooking”
