I haven’t gone to life drawing on a Tuesday evening for quite a while. I had such a bad watercolour day at home in my studio that I felt I had to go out and cheer myself up. It worked, it felt good to sketch and forget the day that was.
Monday evenings, a small group and I usually go to a pub in the old town after our life drawing session. It’s really nice to go through our drawings and show to each other or successes and failures.
Not much to say, it wasn’t my best day but that is life. One just has to make sure one has more ups than downs.
I had the same model (Roza) as I had on the Saturday, different venue and more time for each pose. My paper was A4 and the grain of it was different from what I am used too so it took a few bad drawings to get used to it. I don’t think A4 is big enough to express good lines and expression.
Just clearing my backlog here, these are from before Christmas. I’m looking forward to lots of figure drawing during 2017.
I like Anders Zorn’s nudes that he painted here in the Swedish archipelago. So I was pleased to discover someone who is just as good except that she was a photographer, Anne Brigman (1869-1950). The video quality is quite good so view in full-screen mode for best experience.
I am scanning my life drawings and watercolours at last. Like I said in my last post, I’ve been too busy. I sketched these at Basis, the model was Lars, otherwise known as Action Bear.

I sketched these a couple of weeks back. I’ve been too busy at work to find enough time for my art. But that has come to an end now as it the beginning of my two week shift as an artist. For those of you who don’t know me, I recently started working 50% as an artist back in October. Two weeks on, then two weeks off type of thing. I’ll be publishing more in the next couple of days.

I went to only one life drawing session last week. I would have preferred to have attended more but that’s the way it is sometimes. I have one more week of work and then I’ll have more time for my artistic persuits.
