I did this oil pastel sketch on the first day of the life drawing workshop. Each pose by the model was for 5 mins. The model would go into another pose for the next 5 mins and so on until she had done six different poses. I started in the centre of my paper with my lightest yellow oil pastel. The drawings were layered on top of previous sketches using stronger coloured oil pastels as I progressed. This was a real fun exercise.

This sketch was done in 40minutes at the workshop on day one. I used charcoal, pastel and conte.

This week I  attended a  two day Life Drawing Workshop at Dundee College. It was excellent and a great opportunity to create lively interesting sketches. This sketch incorporated two models with a background setup of bikes and brightly coloured flags. There were a total of four models.  The models moved around the games hall to allow artists to have a change of model for each drawing.
