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.)

We had a new model, she is from Catalonia and is a circus artist. It’s always enjoyable with a new model, it takes time to get to know how to draw his or her form.

I bought two sticks of Derwent XL Charcoal ( Ochre 01 and Sanguine 02 ). They are small and chubby so I don’t know why they call them, XL! But, this is not important – what is important is that I am having lots of fun smudging grated charcoal powder all over my pencil sketches. I used some grated red pastel and black charcoal also in the mix of things. All drawings are on Fabriano A4.

Couple watercolour sketch
I was just playing around here with Fabriano paper. It behaves differently compared to Arches.
The summer break has arrived and sadly I won’t be life drawing at Basis again until after the summer break – something in September. Feels such a long time away. I am pleased with my efforts from this session, I try hard now to be positive and not let negative thoughts distract me from producing good work. I think my colour toning has improved a lot recently, I’m happy with that. Now I wait until Tuesday to sketch but wait, I might have to choose painting at my new studio instead. What ever I do, there will be sketches and paintings being published on this blog all throughout the summer months 🙂

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 …

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.

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…
