I used conte building up the tones in warm and cool colours. We were studying the style of other paintings at the life drawing class I attend. Caroline was done in the style of Degas’ bathing paintings.

Jacek, Finger Painting, Charcoal
These two pictures are from my Thursday evening life drawing class. The exercise was using powdered charcoal and slightly toned paper and no tools except one finger! This was an interesting (ever so messy) study of tones, light against dark.
Life Drawing, Pencil
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.
Funky Hat, Coloured Pencils 41×57cm
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.
Anya, Expressive Style, Mixed Media 62×42cm
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.
