Recent Life Drawing

First class after a long summer break from life drawing!  It was almost like I had forgotten how to draw! >.<

A2, charcoal, 2 and a half minutes each

Life Drawing in Colour

A2, Gouache/charcoal/pastel/chalk, 30 mins

I have never drawn anything like this before.  Everyone in the class had to first under paint their paper and the draw on top of it once it was dry.  It was a really bizarre process of drawing by instinct and balancing the colour, and putting the mark-making first rather than the 'correct' line and observation.  I'm definitely learning lots in this class!

Life Drawing

20 minutes, A2, charcoal and pastel

My first life drawing with colour class! The teacher is easing us into using colour - I even panicked a tiny bit when I first started to lay down a little of that orange/brown colour.  I do try to work with colour OUTSIDE of life drawing but I don't think I've ever used it like this with charcoal.  Fun times ahead!
