Julie 1 and 2

This is the first time I have been at KAGS when they had Julie as their model.

I thoroughly enjoyed drawing Julie as she moved through the gesture poses with a wide variety of different and interesting positions.

I have a number of sketches of her that I still have to complete and will post them at a later date.

In the future I will probably develop this drawing of Julie into a larger painting.

I like the pose and think it has a lot of possibilities and could easily end up as a very nice beach scene.

The pictures shown here are all 9" x 12” original graphite pencil drawings and are available matted and shrink wrapped for $50.00 each.

The one minute gesture drawings are an excellent warm up exercise as they force you to capture the pose as quickly as possible.

It is with the ten minute pose that you have the time to develop more of the details than the gesture drawings. I usually like to block in the basic shape and then develop the muscle structure.

These are a couple of ten minute sketches I did during a life drawing class at KAGS.

Sometime I concentrate on a small area and end up with just a part of the body where I liked the way the light and shadow played over it.

In the New Year I am going to have to spend more time in the life drawing class because I certainly can see that I need the practice.

Heather 1 and 2

Today was the first time I have attended a life drawing class in a long while.

It was good to be back and sketch using a live model, but I need to go more often as I can see I am sadly out of practice. I think I will also need to attend a few of the portrait classes as well.

One of the nice things about the morning class at KAGS is that there are the three minute warm up gesture sketches that lead into the ten minute poses. It is a wonderful exercise.

Then with the long pose you have the choice of either doing a lot of detail work on a single painting or after the break at the halfway point you can change your location and do the pose from a different angle.

The sketches shown here are of a couple of ones I did in the series of ten minute poses of today's session with Heather who has been used as a model for a number of years. I am sure that there will be more images of Heather in the future.
