Near and far

Short poses using 4 foot canes and wax pastel. All 3 minutes on A2, the last two with the wrong hand.

Long pose, probably about 90 minutes was focusing on a cropped section of the body. A2 charcoal and charcoal pencil.

Opaque and transparent

First some quick drawings. 5 minutes each in charcoal and charcoal pencil.

Then the paintings both about 90 minutes. Acrylic 20"x16".

Binocular vision

Two versions of the same pose on Saturday, first A2 coloured pencil, then quarter sheet acrylics. Both took about 2 hours.I was hemmed in so could not stand back to correct some of the proportion issues.

Counting Chickens

We were hatching tonight. Three 10 minute drawings in pastel pencil on A2.

Long pose about 50 minutes. Coloured pencil on A2.

Models are like buses

We weren't sure we'd have a model tonight but in the event we actually had two turn up so one was turned away. First some quick (2 minutes or less) coloured pencil on A2.

40 minutes in Charcoal and charcoal pencil on A2 (a little elongated).

Finally 30 minutes in graphite on A2.

Wipeouts

We were doing wipeouts with charcoal on Tuesday (which coincidentally I used last week too). First some quick sketchs. Three minutes each, charcoal pencil on A2.

Then the wipeouts. First one 10 minutes, the second 50. Charcoal and charcoal pencil on A2.

Sticks and shapes

Quick poses A2, wax pastel with 4 foot canes. About 2 or 3 minutes each. Poor photos due to use of newsprint (quite dark paper so I've increased the contrast).

Longer poses the focus was supposed to be on negative shapes though I just concentrated on shapes. 10, 20 then 30 minutes. First in felt pen, others in charcoal and charcoal pencil.
