A Morning of Drawing

-
Friday morning at my life drawing session and the model got the start time wrong and turned up half an hour late so one of the group posed while we waited for her. I really enjoyed drawing his face.
Then she arrived, was kitted out in drapery and staff and off we went. She's a great model, keeps beautifully still and has amazingly long hair which I lOved to draw!
Well worth the wait. :)

Wow Jessie, I've just been looking through your past entries, what a creative week you've had. Firstly I really loved your acrylic painting on canvas, so bright and bold, your other paintings are just so gorgeous, you have such a vibrant way with colours, so beautiful. And all the sketches are gorgeous, I really loved the faces you did first. So small and delicate but the proportions are great and you managed to capture such a graceful pose with the model, beautiful work Jessie!

Thankyou Marilyn :)
Thanks Nicola, it's lovely of you to say so. I hadn't thought I'd had a creative week but now you've pointed it out I have! It's funny that when you're so busy doing things, you're unaware of how much you're actually producing! I feel like I can relax and enjoy the weekend now, thank you. :)

I love your drawings, I wish I could draw as good as that. I can draw a bit, but not great at portraits. Hugs Sara

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
