Friday's Life Drawing

-
Let me first show you the view from my window yesterday afternoon. My glass angel looked so lovely against the pink sky I just had to take a picture!
Today we have a sunny friday morning. Yes sunny not snowy, sorry rest of the UK but here we have no snow. No doubt I'll soon be eating my words! I saw the satellite pictures of Scotland on the news this morning and it looks as though they're buried!
A different model today, different challenges and different shapes. I shall be tacking new shapes next term. New shapes of a different sort.
Glass ones!

It's funny that most life drawings I've seen have been of women, it must have been refreshing to have a male model. Great work.

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...
