Saturday morning - Week 5

5 hours in total.

I didn't really know where I was going with this one with the rendering. There were a lot of middle tone areas and I became easily confused and ended up being far to tentative. It was a great pose though and this model was straight of the cat walk.

Lavender Hill - Term 7, Week 3

This is another Saturday morning class drawing which really challenged me. I struggled with the diagonal angle of the pose and found it difficult to get the proportions right. Not a pretty drawing but I am always pleased to address my weak areas and this is one.

2 hours

Lavender Hill - Term 7, Week 2

I had the opportunity to attend Saturday morning classes this term which has been great.

City of York

Back in June I was lucky enough to be taken on a family holiday to the city of York. It was a great opportunity to try some sketching of some amazing architecture and sights. I also had my first attempt at painting a little watercolour postcard which I am pleased to say made it intact to my Sister and Brother-in-law.

I was very grateful to my folks for this opportunity to have a relaxing break, a few cream teas and plenty to see and draw. Some of these were done very quickly as there was not always a comfortable spot for my folks to sit whilst they patiently waited for me while I sketched.
