Life Drawings at the United Arts Club

I am delighted to have a few life drawings in Brian's latest group show at the United Arts Club opening later tonight the 7th May.
I used charcoal in the top pic and wax crayon and chalk on the lower...both were drawn on Ingres paper.

Painting The Nude Figure From Life

I'm very excited about my first workshop in the Back Loft. 
It's a lovely roomy and atmospheric venue to paint in.

I look forward to seeing some of you there on the day!

The Drawing Studio

I had a great evening's drawing at Sam Horler's life session at the Drawing Studio, Clarendon Street, Dublin.

He begins with two minute studies, and quickly progresses to longer poses.

I did this drawing during the final hour long pose.

Sarah , the model, was excellent, but the best thing about Sam's life room is the really great lighting arrangement he has set up.

He also supplies materials and tea and coffee during the break. How cool is that?

I think the drawing sessions are on on Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturdays. Check Sam's website for details.

Molly with a Red Cushion

This is my second painting of Molly.
She has a wonderfully Edwardian look about her, emphasized perhaps by the way she wears her hair.
There was a bit of a dispute in our life room about the inclusion of the red cushion.
Personally I like how that shock of colour works against the coolness of the rest of the composition.

Chalk and Crayon Drawing of Tara

I'm looking forward to getting back to life painting this week after a few weeks off.
I think I might try some more chalk and wax crayon drawings like this one of Tara that I did at the United Arts Club.
