Paul the model has made himself two swings which are suspended at different levels for him to explore some creative poses, as an alternative to the usual suspended ropes.
My first drawing uses two scales. I started with the leg and foot on the upper swing and then introduced behind this the full length of the pose from the right foot resting on the lower swing up to the head.
The next two drawings also explore what happens when two parts of the pose are juxtaposed using different scales.
This next drawing is more complex. The hand on the knee at first attracted me, and this was followed by the back and sitting on the swing with the right arm disappearing off to the right. The final move was, I recall, quite a bold step as I introduced the foot resting on the other swing smack into the centre of the composition.
Finally Paul sat on the lower swing with arms and legs dangling down and his chin supported on the seat of the higher swing.
