I attend Thursday life drawing for three hours both morning and afternoon. We start each session with three 10 minute poses. The model again was Marcia as last Thursday.
I particularly like this pose and was very pleased with the drawing: it conveys an iconic image of the female form, and the technique of using a conte stick, both on its edge and drawing the stick across the paper, produces some interesting marks. For each of the six poses I selected three colours to deal with the tonal range with the paper itself providing the fourth 'highlight' tone. This drawing used blue (darkest tone) and purple and green. Another combination I explored was red, orange and yellow. The paper size is A3.
