I could do some nudes at Basis here in Stockholm this Saturday but I just have to focus on the Christmas monster that I have been ignoring. Presents have to be bought and cards have to be sent, you know the drill. Looking forward to next year’s life drawing already.

Finding it hard getting enthusiastic about my life drawing this week, I should take a break maybe. No, I’ll carry on anyway, in the long run I know I’m improving with all this practice, one sketch at a time, one sketch at a time…

I was tired and found it hard to get into the groove. The model, who was young and pretty did not inspire me, no dynamics, she lacked energy in her posing. I can’t blame her, it was I who was at fault, I just wasn’t in the mood. Managed a few half decent sketches all the same.
Venue: Konstnärshuset, Stockholm. 20141125.
I had the same male model as a few weeks previous so I was quicker at picking up the curves and muscle tones etc. I feel pretty comfortable with my life drawing these days, its a nice feeling. Now all I got to do is get the same sensation while I watercolour!

I’m struggling to publish my work at the moment, too busy having fun for the most part. I shouldn’t complain and I won’t.

I had to leave early from last Saturday’s life drawing at Basis here in Stockholm. It wasn’t all bad news though, I left to visit an amateur classical music event and sketched there instead! I’ll publish some of them at a late date.

I haven’t been able to post on my blog for a while because of workloads and colds etc. I have also been painting and drawing more than usual, but this is a good excuse not to post on one’s blog! Hopefully in the next couple of days I will publish the backlog of work that has accumulated.
These life drawings were done at, “Konstnärshuset” Stockholm 20141111.

I struggled last Tuesday. I was still recovering from my illness so I felt tired. I discovered that I need to be really alert when figure drawing, the brain must make thousands of calculations every minute one is sketching. Still, I find it important to just keep going even if the mental hill is steep.
