    Online Life Drawing #4

    The online life drawing and portrait sessions continue apace, although I have learned I work best at my own pace and at a later time than with everyone else – most of the time I actually take far less time than the 10-30 minutes usually assigned, sometimes I take more for a pose or image…

    Life Drawing #34

    Slim pickings this week, for a couple of reasons my mind was elsewhere. A couple of nice pieces – the 5 minute Markal drawing of course is one of the best as usual, and a longer piece below, mixed media. After this week and the last I decided to go back to basics and work…

The odd colours take some getting used to (like when I started with the Poscas,…

    Life Drawing & Painting #30

    Continuing the large abstract drawings & paintings using acrylic and acrylic markers, this weeks session was a fairly good one, although the ‘duplicates’ one (‘Three Little Piggies, shown below) wasn’t as good as the triumph of last week. I struggled a bit until I realised purple was the way in, via the acrylics (since then…
