So the session tonight we had Mark again as the model. Sometimes though I think that his poses are too ambitious for the time given. That is that he normally makes them more complex - which means that after a short while an arm drops a bit here - whilst the head moves to the side and before you know - it is a totally different poase halfway through, and the light has changed completely. He would be better off in simpler poses which he can hold for the duration. Maybe that would be an idea for the future.

Anyway here are a few sketches and such.

Last night's session at life drawing started ok - I mean was on time and found parking without much difficulty. But when I got into thhe room I found that my easel was busted and didn't have any gaffer tape to fix it. Still I tried to peservere and set up - just to start getting the wobbles when I was drawing in ink on the paper. It was too unstable.

Beth was our model and James said she looked very regal - whilst Patrica said that she was like Cleopatra - which was an apt description. However, after the break - on the 40 minute laying pose I dispensed with the easel and felt that everything came together to capture the inner girl of Cleo nee Beth.

I am currently involved with #inktober #inktober2018 - which means that I have today's prompt to do - Chicken. This isn't my submission so I'll get down to doing that shortly.

Hello - I am back! This is the first time that I have managed to get to actual life drawing sessions in a while. Though I have been sketching inthe meantime. Still - nothing like a timed pose to get the adrenaline rushing and poducing some more sketches. And I couldn't have asked for better as our model was the lovely Ana.

This week have been sketching a couple of the same poses in both watercolour & oil on canvas.

I am curently working on larger paintings of the same model to a more-finished effect in larger oils.

Here we have Michael in various poses with a Cruciform pose with a stick prop as well.
