drawing from life
i really miss life-drawing…
[charcoal on paper. 20 min sketch]
i think the last time i attended any life-drawing sessions was in december 2007, when i still lived in belfast. these are a few of my favourite pieces from those classes.

i believe the model’s name was sarah. and unlike some models, she was an absolute pleasure to draw.
[acrylic on A3 canvas. 4 hours. circa dec 2007]
the above painting was completed across 2x 2-hour sessions, and was only the third time i’d tried painting on canvas. i always loved this painting, and to-date it is still probably my favourite painting that i have ever done.
y’know, looking through some of my work from these sessions has made me realise just how rusty my drawing skills are. i have to rectify this issue.
i must draw more often.
i need to draw ‘real people’ more often too, preferably naked! volunteers welcome
