My second week of attending the local life drawing class... Although I wasn't feeling the best, I am glad I made the effort to go. Firstly cause I soon felt better :-) Secondly as I got a chance to talk a little more with fellow drawees, and started picking up some of their tips! Lastly cause I think I can see some tiny improvements...

I have really enjoyed the challenge of life drawing. It is a open class, meaning no teacher, but there are several others there who have the experience, and willingness, to offer tips and advice - which is welcomed!
In the studio this week: currently in progress are the mail art pieces - ready to be finished and posted this weekend, and I finished this painting (
which I've written about here), but it still very wet! I think we need a good few dry days, but was humid and wet again today with light rain, so I don't think that's helping the painting, even though its great for the fruit trees!
Otherwise nothing else as it's otherwise been a busy week: I joined the gym and have been each day to try and build some momentum, had coffee out with a friend, did the big fortnightly grocery shopping, my daughter returned from a 10 day school trip to Vanuatu, and the usual chores! Where has the week gone!!
Hope everyone has a fabulous, painterly weekend :-)
you look like you are getting a lot out of life class... the 10 minute pose is my favourite... but they are all really great this week...xx
ReplyDeleteHi Tracey - thanks! I like bits from each - if only I could put all those bits together into one - lol!
ReplyDeleteNice job!! You had a busy week, but thankfully you found time for these lovely pieces!! Thanks for sharing!! Grocery shopping is always seems to be a bigger ordeal than we like it to be!!

Hi Giggles! :-) Your extravagant use of !! is very !! to read!! Grocery shopping is one of my daughters favourite things to do - I think its because she loves to help choose - but that usually means we spend more! I try and do fortnightly shopping, but we always run out of something mid week, no matter how much I plan ahead :-P
ReplyDeleteIt is a very long time since I did life drawing classes - but i remember it was quite a challenge and very rewarding. That last seated nude is my favourite. I like the painting too - very expressive. You might like to share your more orange work on Mandarin Orange Monday in the future:)
ReplyDeleteHi Lorik - thanks for dropping by! I'll be sure to check out your site - sounds intriguing!
DeleteGreat life class.

Quite a leap from your normal paintings. Hard to do- haven't done any life drawings yet. Happy PPF.
ReplyDeleteLoving your sketches from the life drawing class. Loving your beautiful work in progress. Happy PPF, Annette x
ReplyDeleteIt is gratifying and difficult to draw the human body's natural, I liked your sketches and artwork as well. Greetings.

ReplyDeleteThese sketches are all fabulous... i love the 15 min one. Amazing how beautiful something can be with only a few minutes of drawing. Wonderful work! Keep drawing!! xox
