  • Life Drawing #49

    Life Drawing #49

    This session was very productive also like the last around drawing and the new Woody pencils, but also experimented with some acrylic ink and cheap drawing ink I have as washes. Usually I avoid such ink because I prefer opaque inks like Posca or Molotow, and think the colours look a bit weak – but…

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

    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…

I was using both traditional watercolour and also W&N watercolour sticks and the two above show what different effects you can get. Subtly used gently…

  • Life drawing #8 – Hugh

    Life drawing #8 – Hugh

    And finally after weeks and weeks of female models – a bloke! And an older man at that, Hugh who’s apparently an RA (there’s a lot of artists who also model, interestingly). I think the charcoal works best here, and the pen and ink, and the felt tip pen one. I remember I turned up…
