At Paul Fowler's life-drawing class 'Extreme Poses' at Pegasus Art in Stroud and today, something different. We are given a large sheet (112cm x 81cm) of heavy duty paper and a large board to place on our easel, and asked to draw on the same paper the five 30 minute poses which Damaris will take during the morning. We must avoid any consideration of ultimate composition, we must try to draw each pose as though we have a blank sheet, and we should start to draw that which immediately attracts us about a pose without thinking too much about it. This is a tall order. And it was quite impossible not to consider some aspect of a relationship between one drawing and the next.
I used HB pencils, mainly my two handed approach, and the principal outcome for me was that each pose was drawn with a different pencil technique in terms of line and pressure in the mark-making.
The two questions for you are:
1. Can you identify the five poses and which parts of the body is included in each pose?
2. In which order were they executed and the reason for your decision.

Answers:
1st - top right (two-handed drawing)
2nd - centre left (two-handed drawing)
3rd - centre top (a rather frustrated drawing, hence heavy single-handed work)
4th - lower outline drawing ( I turned the paper through 90 degrees to right for this one)
5th - centre right (lighter hatching technique with one hand, and back to portrait format)
