Life Drawing III

  

Today we had, in my opinion, the most engaging life drawing session so far. Lead by Astrid, we were told to put aside any charcoal and graphite sticks we had brought and instead to pick up our coloured paints and pencils. We looked at tackling use of colour in our drawings and I absolutely loved it. I normally work with precision line work, but the success with pencils and pens tends to be quite low. However, I really engaged with using paint brushes. We used a thick and a thin paintbrush and I was able to cover a larger area of the paper and gain confidence in transcribing the models form.

I’m really pleased with the outcomes, I loved working with colour and want to take all of the skills I learned in the session into my own practice!
