I did some life drawing today, it’s the first time in a while that I’ve had time to figure draw on a Saturday. I enjoyed myself. I love the crowd at Basis, that was the venue.

I am struggling at the moment. Out of balance, too many things to do. Only one sketch worth showing from Tuesday’s life drawing session at Konstnärshuset.

I have a lot going on at the moment both at work and privately. This keeps me away from my art, it’s frustrating and a bit depressing. I will have more time again during the summer months, I look forward to it.
These life drawings are from two weeks ago at Konstnärshuset.

It felt good to be figure drawing again after a two week break. I feel frustrated these days, I just don’t have enough time for my art. I am working on it, trying to free up more time in the future. I buy lots of gadgets to improve my art, the latest being Ken Bromley’s paper stretchers, it’s an expensive hobby if you let it be so. I wish time was as easy to buy!

It wasn’t one of my better life drawing sessions. I was feeling worn-out. Working, painting and drawing all the time, I needed a break so I did just that.
… Now I’m back and today I finished a large watercolour, it wasn’t a total success but I learned a lot working in large format ( full imperial ). At my next figure drawing session I plan to draw less pencil outlines. I want to smudge charcoal dust around the outline of the figure to give a softer more natural look. Also, it was pointed out to me that the eyes I draw are too stylised, a line and a dot basically. I will try and change this over time.

I used A3 paper instead of my normal A4 Fabriano, I was surprised by how much easier it was to draw curved lines. The only negative was that I could not use my scanner and had to photograph instead. Besides the latter, I really enjoyed sketching the model, she was great.

I had a good evening last Tuesday. I maintained a high level (says he) for the whole session which rarely happens, if ever. ( Click on one of the images to see a larger version.)

A new model this week, at least I don’t think I’ve drawn her before. She had a Egon Schiele type of body, skinny, long fingers and big hands with an unusual face. I really enjoyed sketching her, I hope I get to draw her again soon. It takes a few hours grind to get used to the contours of a new model.
