my First Life Drawing session - pencil
9/9/18 Life drawing has been the most enjoyable aspect of my first week at AUB - having never done this before and I'm excited to produce more work. Having always found speed to be one of my issues but in only one day I have already improved - setting myself goals within an exercise to show where the hands, legs, feet and head are positioned, if not completely realised. By the last image I have certainly improved and given more lessons and practice I will apply this to other aspects of my work.
17/09/18 We had another session of life drawing in the other studio. Here we can use messier medias such as charcoal; initially I was not keen as I am quite a tidy person but after some practice I really liked the outcomes and how you produce more marks, darker, in less time. We had a male model today which posed more of a challenge for me but it made a nice change. Its nice to see by the end of the day I was able to draw the whole figure almost completely in the time allotted.

Below, three 10 minute warm up studies to ease back in to life drawing after our Christmas break...
The first two on this page below were 5 minutes each and the last three were 3 minutes each, second page the figures were 2 minutes each and the last page they were 1 minutes...
Here we all changed to acrylic paint on cardboard: black and white tonal study first, then only using black, white and two other colours - I had red and green; finally a last tonal study using black, white, red, blue and yellow.
