Here’s something from this Saturday’s Guardian that you may find interesting. It shows a view of Paula Rego’s studio with a partly completed painting side by side with a series of home made lay figures. As I hope you can see in the photograph the painting is based on the arrangement of figures. [...]

I had a nice email from Jessica Stride the other day
Hi Will,
I thought I’d send you my latest life drawings from your Thursday evening sessions, in case you’d like any of them for your blog. I’ve really enjoyed this term - it seemed to end so soon, and such a long break!
Looking forward to next [...]

I’ve had the chance to use some great models this term. Try getting your hands into the same position as the model in the sketch below third from left, difficult isn’t it? Last night Jade and Benita came up to me during the coffee break and suggested the idea of doing some poses where they could balance and lean against each [...]

Paula joined the group fairly recently. We first spoke over the phone towards the end of last term. Then she left a comment on this blog although neither of us had, at this point made the connection that we were the same people. I just assumed she was from London, although she has actually [...]

Well I’ve been running this Bristol Life Drawing blog since May and I’m amazed at the number of hits that it’s generated. One of the interesting things about running a blog is the stats page where you can see a breakdown of all the people who’ve visited and what search terms they’ve used. Aside from some [...]

Last week I was putting together a short slide talk for my Beginners art classes(visit www.paintanddraw.co.uk for more information) on various artist’s who’ve used pastel. Degas was there, of course but as an example of a contempory artist I also chose to include Paula Rego. In one or two ways there seemed to me [...]
