Seated figure (front)
Seated figure – this was a thirty minute sketch. The model put her hair up this time. Using Ingres paper was good because I didn’t have to shade all of the figure. I did add some pencil colour to the background.
Seated figure (back view)
Twenty minute sketch, pencil crayons and felt pens on Ingres paper. I used a grey and brown pallette with a touch of blur from a yoga mat on the floor. Sitting on a small stool and a faux sheepskin rug.
Life drawing class
Ten and fifteen minute sketches drawn at the Orme Art Group today. We book a life model occasionally and it’s good to practice drawing perspective and proportions. Pencil crayons and felt pens on Ingres paper.
At the exhibition
Sketch of the exhibition yesterday. The artworks were exhibited on large white boards. The are peg boards with rows of horizontal and vertical holes. To hang a painting you push two metal hooks into lots of two holes to make a place to hang your pictures up with string. It’s hard to describe but it worked. There were about eight or nine artists exhibiting. I did this in a five minute break between groups of people coming in.
Today’s exhibition
Two boards I had paintings on today. I also had a table with small paintings, jewellery and prints. I sold a few pieces which was good and I think I got a good reception from people. Overall most people in the group seemed to have a good day. It was quite busy all day from when we opened to the last few minutes. It was also good chatting with artists and finding out bit more about their work. I’m tired but happy.
Snowdrop drawing
I went to our Orme Art group today and as I only had limited time I decided to draw from one of my photos from yesterday. It had to be a patch of snowdrops. So evocative of winter. It’s a felt pen sketch. I drew the light areas first then filled in around them. Probably took 90 minute’s.
Winter art…
I’m in an Group called Orme Art and we did a winter challenge to take squares and copy a Bonnard painting. This was the result…
I’m not sure how many people did this as a few did more than one, but it’s interesting to focus in and see the different techniques used, from felt pens to pencils and paints….
Orme art group
The challenge is to copy a Bonnard painting. I’ve tried to copy this square., number three. I know I’ve made it too wide. My other two squares were painted in watercolour and felt pens, so this time I decided to use metallic coloured pencils. I’m afraid I gave up a bit on the vegiration. Trying to copy something from a photo on your phone while holding a sketchpad and drawing isn’t easy. I changed the colours because the pencils I was using were to pale..
Copying Bonnard
Orme art groups winter challenge was to take a numbered square from this Bonnard painting and try and copy it. Then when they are done by group members they are pieced back together as a final collaboration of the group.
I did one using felt pens and permanent markers. This one is done in watercolours. I’m not completely convinced by my painting but I’m not going to do any more to it. X
