Life Drawing April



Sunday 10 April 2017, 2pm

I was a bit distracted by other events during life drawing on Saturday and found it difficult to focus. I was drawing like a 2 year old (which is sometimes quite a high standard). Managed to pull something together in the final session, in spite of being told we had five minutes to go and I hadn’t even started the shading. Lots of aberrant marks in there, which I left as is.

Life Drawing



Thursday 9 March 2017, 2pm

Life drawing with Brooke again last Saturday at WAGS. This was a rapid sketch done on the back of the panel that was later erased –


The final half hour sketch was a bit wrong proportionally, so I brought it home and worked on it for a few hours from memory –

Roadworx



Tuesday 17 January 2017, 10am

I’ve been thinking of this series for a few months. The simple impact of a vanishing point on a flat horizon. The way a path invites the viewer into a landscape.

All of these were done with one small piece of charcoal. There’s not a lot of it left. All the panels are 600mm x 450mm. I stopped when I ran out of panels. The images are underexposed to preserve detail.
