It was a nice change to do some quick fire drawing at Brian Gallagher's life session at the United Arts Club last week. Our model was Sarah, and this is one of my fifteen minute studies from that session.
Very nice quick sketch, you do have some pretty amazing life drawings and paintings on your site. How on earth do you manage to find time to illustrate children's books! I attend life classes too usually the max time we have is around 45 mins per pose but a lot of the time its around 20 mins. Next month I will be attending a one off life class and we will have a six hour pose, which I am really looking forward to.
Thanks so much Rory, Unfortunately I have not been producing books at anything like the rate I would like. I used to spend a day per week at life drawing but I have scaled that back to one afternoon. I consider it a very important exercise to help with my day to day practice. Quick studies are extremely useful, but the longer poses can be brilliant, especially if you get into painting from the model. I'm sure you will get a lot out of your 6 hr session. Post your pix up online, I'd love to see them. All the best PJ
I'm not sure how to post pix on blogger I only joined about a week ago so I don't really know what I am doing I was looking for other artists that still practised life drawing and I came across you which was a name I recognised has I own one of your books EAST O' THE SUN AND WEST O' THE MOON the illustrations are truly fantastic. I do have life drawings on my website though www.roryoneillart.com
Thanks for that Rory, You've got some great work up on your website. You are going great with the life sessions. You'll really enjoy the longer pose. Best regards PJ
