Dieselverkstaden

I spent Sunday afternoon sketching at Dieselverkstaden with a newly formed Stockholm sketching group called ‘Skissa i Stockholm’. A fun day was had by all and I’m quite sure we will be meeting again very soon.

Saturday’s life drawing

I regularly sketch at Basis on Folkungagatan here in Stockholm. It’s only ten minutes from my home and the 12 o’clock start on a Saturday morning is just perfect for me. The atmosphere is very relaxed and one gets a little tuition for the 100 kronor one pays which is not bad at all. The life drawing session is two hours long.

This was a two hour pose at the Swedish Academy of Realistic Art last Thursday, I can’t say I am happy with this in its entirety but some elements of the painting are ok.

Tuesday’s life drawing session

Konstnärshuset: Our model did not turn up this week so the organiser whipped her clothes off and saved the day. What a hero!

The internal struggle

Last night I went to a two hour – one pose session at the The Swedish Academy of Realistic Art in Bergshamra, Stockholm. I have been sketching now for a few years so I’m finding it relatively easy to draw the human figure. The problem I have today is the painting of the figure, it is such a struggle for me, I painted my first watercolour in February.
