Fifteen minute life drawings of Elise

She’s back in our lives! Fantastic life model and fastest thing on two wheels (bicycle that is) Elise was finally able to pose for us this week. The fifteen minute drawings below were done by myself after the break from a vantage point on the steps by the entrance, hence the foreshortening.

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!

A Balancing Act

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 [...]

NEW LIFE DRAWINGS AND CERAMICS BY FRANKIE WEBB

          
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 [...]

LIFE DRAWING IN CENTRAL BRISTOL, NEW WORK BY PERI TAYLOR

It’s nice to be able to put some more life drawings up by Peri Taylor.  She’s been coming to the class for a long time and was good enough to be one of the first people to donate some life drawings for this project. Because this is a blog of course, and because blogs get updated from [...]

Well, I’ll be back at Bristol Grammar School next week so it’s a temporary farewell to the Horfield space we’ve been using for the last few weeks.  I’m already missing having my own door key, not having such a long drive to get there on Thursday nights and  not having [...]
