Life Drawing, Pencil

05/09/2009 by Gina Wright.

I have started back at my evening life drawing class at Dundee College. We had just one pose for the evening, which meant a detailed study was possible.

Stool and Chairs, Ink and Pencil Sketch

28/08/2009 by Gina Wright.

Before going to work in the studio I did a warm up sketch of furniture in the living room. The sketch was done with a chunky permanent ink pen and pencil for additional shading. The ink doesn’t allow for errors, sometimes that is the fun of using it.

Cygnets, Pencil Sketch

20/07/2009 by Gina Wright.

I had fun sketching these moving subjects. I saw the parents swim ashore with 8 cygnets following. They starting preening themselves in the sun which allowed me time to draw them quickly.

Here is another sketch that I did on the Isle of May at the weekend. I did a number of quick sketches to capture the different poses and situations. I wanted to stay and keep sketching but the boat was leaving and I had to go home! These will be good references for my studio work.

I did a couple of sketches in my small sketch book at Dunure. Interesting little harbour as you will see from the photo of me sketching. Walking along to Dunure Castle the cliffs are quite stunning.

I have been away to the Ayrshire coast getting inspiration for new paintings. I have uploaded a sketch done very quickly at Lendalfoot. My husband took a picture of me while I was sketching and in the distance you can see Ailsa Craig where granite was quarried to make curling stones. The weather was sunny however very very windy and icy cold. You would never guess it was summer!! More sketches to be posted over the next few days.

I did this sketch on Saturday in my small 9×6 inch sketch pad using two pages for this wide angle view. Beautiful peaceful spot to sketch from.

Harold And Rose, Conte

26/03/2009 by Gina Wright.

I found these two wooden rabbits while out shopping and thought I might like to do a drawing of them. I used three different colours of conte crayons in this sketch and charcoal.

Funky Hat, Coloured Pencils 41×57cm

20/03/2009 by Gina Wright.

This drawing was done at my life drawing class at Dundee College. I have only just got into using coloured pencils. I really enjoy using them however it does take some time to do a drawing of this size. The colours need to be built up slowly. Luckily we had an excellent model who hardly blinked while the class were drawing.
