Go With the Flow!

We started the day with several 20 minute poses. There were two models, usually one stood and the other sat, crouched or lay down. I have no idea why, but I will always opt for a sitting, crouching or laying down pose! The last one here was an exercise in not taking the charcoal off the paper. I actually love the way it is all out of proportion, one arm thicker than the other, her head too small, etc.!

This was a 1 hour pose, and the other model, just before lunch. I was having a great time, it was one of those days where just putting charcoal to paper resulted in a drawing. No analysing, no thinking, no struggling, no labouring, just going with the flow. I love those days!

This was my effort for the rest of the day, about 21/2 hours. Not much to show is it, but I was flying high and enjoyed it immensely. I can see now that a few areas need cooling down, and I'm not sure if I like her floating!

Thanks for your visit, see you next month.

I've not posted these in the order we did them, which I was trying to do, and now I can't change the order!

We started with the 2o minute sketches, then the 10, 8,4,2minutes, then the 1 hour painting before lunch.

The model I chose to draw, Thelma, then did a new pose for the afternoon. The other model, Michelle kept to the same pose as before lunch.

I had a thoroughly wonderful day, interspersed by plenty of chat, coffee and fag breaks!

Coming Soon

It was my intention to have a separate blog for the HAS life drawing sessions every month.
And to post everything I did on the day.
I won't go back and post stuff here that is already on the other blog, so the next scheduled day is at the end of September.
Sorry to disappoint, but once I get going it will be good.
