meldrum artMy first life drawing class for this year was last night with a new attendance record. Changing from Friday to Thursday evenings is a definite plus.
I managed to do a few sketches that I later improved when I had some more time.
If you live in Stockholm and are interested in life drawing, visit the Meldrum Kroki page. English or Swedish is up to you.
I never know whether to call it figure painting or life drawing, I guess it’s more correct to call them figure paintings but they were executed in minutes and not hours, maybe you understand my dilemma.
These, whatever you call them were sketched at my own life drawing class last Friday. It was the first time for the model to pose and I think she did a great job. I managed a few decent paintings even though I wasn’t 100% relaxed as I was responsible for the evening. I am happy with my output right now, it’s a productive period.
The last Meldrum Kroki ( Meldrum Life Drawing ) for this year is this Friday the 14th of December. Next year the sessions will be on Thursdays, the first one being on the 10th of January.
These watercolour sketches were each 5 minutes long and painted on cellulose paper and not cotton. It’s a very different feeling painting on cheap paper but enjoyable anyway.
Hi, to anyone who attends my life drawing evenings at Dieselverkstaden.
This Friday there will be no life drawing class due to Alla helgons dag (All Saints Day). The next “Meldrum Kroki will be on the 9th of November. Welcome!
Meldrum Kroki has moved to Dieselverkstaden in Sickla starting Friday, September 14, 2018. (I should have published this earlier on my blog!)
Fridays 18.30 to 20.30. Cost 120kr – coffee included. One can pay with Swish, cash or card. Bring your own material and it is recommended to arrive at least 10 minutes beforehand to get yourself a good seat.
Meldrum Kroki wants to offer the opportunity to draw Stockholm’s best life drawing models along with good lighting, nice background music and great coffee.
All artistic levels are welcome!

Meldrum’s tip: There is a pub right next to Dieselverkstaden where you can view and discuss the evening’s drawings together afterwards. Cheers!
Here are some sketches I did at Meldrum Kroki last week and the other day. As I am running the life drawing evening it is not possible for me to sketch during the whole session. I really enjoy it anyway and I am happy just to do a few drawings.
