Life drawing, 15 minutes, black and watered ink applied with a brush on watercolour paper, A3
Life drawing with added life
Modelling for a life class is tough and often uncomfortable; models work hard for not much money. The model today was in his late seventies, with quite a different physicality from the art and drama students who usually pose – very interesting to draw.
Back to basics drawing
I’m spending a whole week drawing, with 5 days of figure-focused classes. Day 1 was proper old school instruction on what bits of skeletons matter and which major muscles I really should remember to look for. Day 2 was more drawing muscles and general foreshortening, days 3-5 drawing a variety of models from life. Fun and weirdly soothing, and I suspect ultimately very helpful.
