Newport, Isle of Wight, 30th January 2008.
start of six week life study group, 2hours per evening session 6:30 to 8:30.
Last night we had a young female model who posed twice, holding each pose for approximately one hour.
The first pose was prone on the floor, for this pose I chose A4 canvas paper and painted her with acrylic paint and bristle brushes, the time limit of one hour made this attempt quite demanding, I finished on time but found myself painting at a much faster rate than I normally do.
The second pose I chose to capture the shadows with a graphite stick on thin paper 36 x 24 inches.
Moving from small compact to large and loose again was quite demanding and it took me a while to come to terms with the composition especially at first trying to get the whole figure on the paper, I kept making the head to big.
Next week it will be a male so I have been told.
