Followers of my blog now know that 'extreme poses' is the name given by Paul Fowler to his presentation of his life models in his classes at Pegasus Art in Stroud. The model suspends her body in challenging poses in a harness of straps and ropes fixed to beams in the centre of the studio. The form of the pose pushes the artist to innovate and explore beyond the conventional life-drawing response. Here are today's five 30 minute poses within which can be seen elements of my current pre-occupations, I.e. morphism, anagramism,
superimpositioning, transparency, together with my interest in mark-making.
All are drawn with graphite pencils on A1 220gsm cartridge paper. I start with a pencil in each hand (H or HB) drawing simultaneously and tend to complete the drawing with a softer pencil (7B or 8B). I will often use something like a 2B or 3B in both hands at an intermediate stage in constructing the drawing.
