Life Drawing Liverpool 15th January

Finally back to life drawing. Been so long, two months at least. Luckily I'm busy in work so am constantly drawing so no real perceived 'rust'. Heavy work schedule means I'm letting go of being too tight with these drawing; mainly finding angled with an extended arm, but no precise measuring - brain wasn't into it, haha! 

Rob is always a pleasure, and has one of those faces that is pretty easy to capture - nothing worse than burrowing a hole into my sketch pad looking for a likeness that isn't forthcoming!

Leaf on Bold street was last night's venue. New model, who I didn't quite get the name of; but wow, she was fantastic. There was a delicate, effortlessness in her posing, and her face had me thinking of a classic 19th century look. Not many drawings; somehow didn't get into it so much; despite the good posing. Top left is hands down my favourite; which ironically I drew without my glasses.. Maybe something to look at repeating. Bottom two pieces were such a challenge, I was quite far away; probably a good fifteen feet - no idea why I decided to focus on her face from so far away. Bottom right is a tracing of the image on the left; correcting what I had trouble with. 

I welcome the opportunity to draw her again. Fingers crossed.

Attendance hasn't been great. I have to admit. Busy working weekends have gotten in the way, and when session are every other week, makes it hard to get a proper groove on. Last night's session was an odd one. A mix of emotions had me drawing with mixed results. The top few I was feeling pretty angry and haphazardly threw lines on without consideration. Or at least in a more brutal fashion.. If that's possible to say. A few one minute gestures mid-way down the page and then two completely different watercolours, both of the same 30 minute pose. Mixed bag.

I was an hour late. Nearly didn't even go to the class; glad I did, as always. Embarrassingly I can't recall the model's name, but she's great to draw; expressive forms and a face that's nice to capture. Holds a pose very well too! 

Mixed bag of drawings; some felt tip; some 2b pencil, then the bottom two are a graphic stick; which I was hoping to mimic a charcoal stick, alas; I didn't get the result I desired. Charcoal next time, who cares about filthy fingers?!
