    Life Drawing #62 – Anna

    Last life drawing of the year, and a pretty good selection using the new Khadi pad and paper, and Rosaspina paper. A good dip pen and ink wash drawing in the Khadi pad, and a very Van Gogh pose which I called ‘Sorrow’ but iridescent medium snuck in to my paints so it ended up…

    John series

    A series of drawings of John in his element – including the first drawing I did with the Derwent XL blocks (#1 – ‘The Ghoul’). He called it ‘The Ghoul’ so the name stuck – but oddly that is my favourite of the four . These will hopefully lead to a proper portrait in future,…
