Following three 5 minute poses we returned to the main pose of the day which was repeated from last Tuesday. I decided to explore a drawing from three different positions. The first is seated low in order to help me bring forward and exaggerate the left leg and foot and correspondingly to reduce the upper part of the body. The second is also seated but I moved my position a metre or so to my left. For the third I raised my easel and stood and moved closer so that I was looking down on to model. In this third relationship the head and feet were almost equidistant from my eyes.
No posting for a couple of weeks as I am off to Sicily, with my sketch book and inpiration from Frederick Franck's stimulating book 'Zen Seeing, Zen Drawing: Meditation in Action'.
