Queueing And Scribbling
A big national company bought out a load of post offices and set them up in their city centre shops. So now there are no little post offices in the city centre. But the big company doesn’t seem keen to employ enough staff to serve in their central post office so there are always hugeContinue reading “Queueing And Scribbling”

Maintaining Motivation
I liked drawing this one-hour pose, it had a lot of interesting elements which kept my attention and motivation, which often drifts on these longer poses. There’s some great foreshortening with the right arm and leg, and the swivel chair had to be worked into the composition too. A Chance To Own One Of MyContinue reading “Maintaining Motivation”
Getting Stuck In With A Brush (And A Cat)
Here’s the final, hour-long pose from life drawing the other night. I’m usually very tired by this point and I often find it hard to concentrate, so I switched from conte crayons to my home made walnut ink and a large-ish brush and got stuck in. It gave me a bit more energy and IContinue reading “Getting Stuck In With A Brush (And A Cat)”
30 Minutes Of Foreshortening Hell
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”
