I went to a life drawing session last night. This was the 3rd week I have been able to attend and this was the first week I found the model inspiring! That's not to say that the other models didn't do a good job. It must be excruciating to hold any pose for 20 minutes without moving. I guess I like curves, on women. I think this pose has potential for a painting. I am now thinking of going to a Thursday afternoon session. This is a long pose for two weeks. I like short poses but I think I can move around and draw the model from different positions because there are fewer artists in attendance. I am going to check it out tomorrow. To see the rest of the drawings, check out my other blog, Drawn from Limb to Limb.
Myrna, the first drawing in the bunch looked a bit tentative but after that, all of them look good enough to put into collages or other artwork to come :) It does help when you feel some connection or joy in the poses and body of the person :)
ReplyDeleteI love your clean, expressive lines - I am going to try to learn how to do this - so these drawings are a real inspiration to me. Like your portraits in FB
ReplyDeleteRefreshing to see an artist celebrate a real woman's body for a change. Love this one, Myrna.
