Tuesday’s Life drawing

Venue: Konstnärshuset, Stockholm. 20140506

The summer is coming and there are only a few more weeks of life drawing before the break. I am happy with my personal development so far this year, I feel that I’m improving each time I draw and my watercolours have also improved.
Today I received the keys to the studio that I will be renting during the summer months. I am really excited about it, I installed my furniture this evening, feels kinda strange to have a studio, soon I’ll be calling myself an artist!

I was meant to post these sketches over a month ago, I thought I would add a little more detail before publishing. But life has a habit of getting in the way of my art, like this weekend for instance; I had to put my sailing boat in the water and put on the mast and so on. I don’t mind, I enjoy sailing but I want to watercolour more! I don’t have a bad life, if this is my biggest crisis …

A new life drawing model

Venue: Konstnärshuset, Stockholm. 20140429

It is always nice to have a new model. This lady was a wonderful challenge to draw, she’s from the States I believe, her poses were beautiful.

Saturday’s life drawing.

Venue: Basis, Stockholm. 20140426

Our model this week was a lady called Kinna. She was excellent at holding elegant and interesting poses. I only wish my sketches could have caught her beauty better. Next time…

Camp challenge

Venue: Konstnärshuset, Stockholm. 20140422

It took me a while to get used to this model, I’ve drawn him once before a long time ago. The challenge was to draw his effeminate form and posturing while keeping him masculine at the same time, like I said, it was difficult.

Finding inspiration

Venue: Basis, Stockholm. 20140412

Some models don’t inspire me, I guess this is normal.
I am learning to look beyond the first impression and find details or executions that excite. Drawing and painting improves when you take a second look it seems.
( I later spent some time adding extra detail and tone to these sketches. )

I seem to be producing a steady flow of figurative watercolours that I am happy with these days. I hope I continue being so happy with myself even next week…

Pencil and paper

Venue: Konstnärshuset, Stockholm, 20140325

I brought the minimum to life drawing yesterday evening. A few pencils and a block of A4 paper.
The model’s poses were quite contorted, very hard to draw, luckily she did a few classical poses too.
