Friday Afternoon Life Drawing

Fortnightly Friday a group of Manx artists meet to draw and paint from a life model. A number of quick poses done in pencil, poses were not enough for me to do watercolour.

Mary

Jenny

Desperate Angel Paris

Found this delightful little statue on Google Earth. Bockingford 140 lb Not paper ShinHan watercolours variations of grey using Ultramarine and Hookers. These quality professional transparent water colours are a pleasure to use and are fantastic value. You can get them from Jackson's Art Supplies.

Petite Ballerina

This pretty little ballerina from Mozambique was painted from a reference picture kindly supplied by Jessica http://emocherie.deviantart.com/ Painted on W H Smith watercolour paper which I have never used before, it performed very well and was comparible to Bockingford. St Petersburg and Shin Han artists watercolours. Shin Han Ultramarine and Raw Umber tend granulate which can look quite good in certain applications

Monday Character Drawing Group

Every other Monday we meet to draw from life. Always a different model. I'm fairly new to the group about a year or possibly a little longer. This is my effort for last Monday best described as a pencil drawing with watercolour washes the blouse was added later as I did not have any masking fluid with me. Paper is Bockingford and colours used are cadmium red yellow ochre ultramarine burnt umber and cerulean blue. The drawing was done in about 2 hours with breaks for the model.
