    First Oils from Life (Kate’s Life Drawing #1)

    Kate is an artist I’ve met via my usual life drawing sessions. A couple of weeks ago she kindly setup a life session in her studio for some of the gang to have a longer session which meant I could paint and do my first oils from life – there simply isn’t time in the…

  • Life Drawing #36

    Life Drawing #36

    Watercolour can be highly variable at the life drawing sessions, but this was a good one for that.

First thoughts were that this session wasn’t as good as the last but actually these have grown on me. Especially the watercolour below with the lovely crystalline pigment interactions and…

    Drink and Draw – Debs

    Not been to Drink and Draw for a while, and this was low key but really good – Debs who runs the event stepped in as a model. I have just got Phthalo Green in watercolour so was glad that she wore a blue-green dress. I’m going rather Phthalo-crazy at the moment (as you’ll see…
