Life Drawing 6th September 2012

Brush and ink. 10 minute drawing, 45 minute pose

I really enjoyed the first session back after the summer last night. It was really nice to see everyone again and  although I was a bit worried about how my drawing would be as I've not done much over the summer I was really pleased with some of the work I produced last night.

First drawing of the evening! 2 minutes, red pen.

As well as my usual pen drawings I took some drawing ink last night as I always mean to be more organised and take different media but I never quite get round to it! It was great working in a different media and I'm happy with the drawings I made and will I think do some more work in this way. As I like working in a free, expressive way the ink suits my style well, as I think the splashes and running adds to rather than detracts from the drawing. I like the rhythm of the repeating curves in the first ink drawing (see top of post.)

If you are interested in attending any of the sessions feel free to get in touch! I have also taught a life drawing session for Carlisle and Border Arts Society so if your group is looking for a tutor for a one off or series of sessions let me know!
