Double-model perfection

Yes.......I am referring to the models. Robin and Natalie, who I have been drawing for quite a few years now. Their poses are inspiring. They bring out the best in me. And here are two drawings, about 10 minutes each, which have emerged as my favourites from the many I produced over the six days I spent at Stroud and Crickhowell at the end of July.
Why do I like them so much? They are the product of a quick, spontaneous, minimilist response. There is no reworking, no unnecessary lines, no marks of frustration. To start with both hands with hard pencils exploring the basic form and composition, then softer pencils selectively homing in and emphasising the essentials. The drawings are as much a result of my feelings as what I am seeing.
I do recall with both poses that when they formed in front of me I immediately new what to do. This does not mean I knew what the outcome would be. It means I just knew where to start, and the rest came naturally.

Double-Model Day: 2

I feel, that today, I more fully engaged with the issues that two models generate than I did on 'Double-Model Day: 1'.
Here are all the drawings from the day. Most poses lasted about 30 minutes. The models returned to the three basic poses throughout the day. However, I slightly changed my position, sometimes sitting and lowering my easel and as a consequence looking up at the models (I usually draw from a standing position).
I like the introduction of the plinths, which together with the ropes provide a further point of energy into the dynamics of the composition.
I continue with my two-handed drawing approach which I have now begun to analyse and examine. My thoughts on this subject will be posted soon.

Double-Model Day: 1

It's December 4th 2014 and Paul Fowler, at 'Extreme Poses' at Pegasus Art in Stroud, has brought together Robin and Natalie to intertwine their bodies up in the ropes and with two pedestals. Each pose lasted at the most 30 minutes. My drawings took less of this time.
I offer no evaluation or reflection at this stage, except to say that any approach or strategy for the day which I may have had in mind went completely out of the window when confronted with the creations of these two amazing models.
