And the last 20 minute pose from Saturday. I’ve posted it separately because I didn’t want her legs to be chopped off unceremoniously 😏. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs4TEvhAKrQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mmjly6b5lm83

Drawings of the lovely Alana from life drawing on Saturday. I started with a large mop brush to block in basic shapes. Then used the Sailor Fude with the water soluble Red-Brown ink for linear details. The first one was about 10/15 minutes and the others about 20 minutes each. I admit I find the one minute sketches really uncomfortable, they certainly don’t loosen me up but make me tense. The resulting drawings show this so they will remain un - posted 🤣. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs4S62egmPw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11bcr7qogsspj

I am enjoying getting back to watercolour again. I’ve been inspired by @wilfreeborn’s book -50 Small Paintings which was a Christmas present to myself 😊. https://www.instagram.com/p/Br87fCLgPkj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p0e2oukm6k3x

I tried a new technique today. I drew an outline sketch with a 6B pencil then used a new brush (for me) bonobo chalk, blocking in an underpainting of basic flesh colours. I added a layer of antique paper to add texture and interest. I continued by finding the darkest values and the highlights. I purposely avoided adding any hard lines. @sktchyapp @procreate https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq1jE9BgBaw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l1faw89ce9ie
