Last week I did a large collage life drawing 21 inches by 30 inches. This was done over two weeks with 2 hour sessions. I started by using gesso on the paper surface. Once dry I added strips of glossy magazines approx the shape of the figure. Then more gesso and acrylic paint. Some of the background paper shows through. Quite messy however good fun. A great way to achieve some interesting effects.

As title suggest the object of this lesson was to observe the model and draw without looking at your drawing. We were to stand side on to the easel stopping any temptation to peek at what our hand was drawing.

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.

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.

I have been attending life drawing classes at Dundee College. Tonight the model was Anya and we were working fast and using charcoal, conte, ink and soft pastel. Good fun.

We had family visiting today. Emma, my niece, made a lovely subject for me. She was concentrating hard on her own art work, I was drawing her drawing!
