Life Drawing Class on holiday

School holidays means no life drawing for 2 weeks
Take a break folks, chill out for a while

Figure drawing, Life drawing class 3 6 09

Jizzy works lately in inks, here, felt pen. No chance of rubbing out mistakes but Jizzy says the advantage for her of using inks is no smudging, as willow charcoal is so likely to do

One of mine, overworked and then overworked some more...

Robyn, back to work after having several weeks off to practice with her Rock band. The band played Saturday night at our classes' Art and Music exhibition. Looking forward to that Saturday night was all that kept me going through all the work of setting up the exhibition and my wait was worth it. We all had a great night .. ooo- yay!

My sculptor friend Carla shows up as a casual to do some impeccable tonal studies...

Waihi Life Drawing Class 13/ 5/ 09: Maclean does it again

Maclean doesn't practice formal studies in contour and tone, her every effort is an exploration.
Her she models the figure with hot colours. The hottest colour, yellow, on a plane with the paper and describing the edges of the body closest to us. The red orange, slightly cooler, describing the forms curving away from us and the warm purple describing the steepening of the curve away from us.
Then Maclean binds it all in a purple contour line to create a design for a neon sign...
This one was promptly nick-named the stripper....
