Troublesome warm-ups can sometimes lead to a nicer long drawing.
Everything seemed to come together at the last minute this evening in the hour pose while I was left not so happy with the warm up sketches.
However it was great to have a model who used the wall to create some poses that shifted the balance of the body.
Our model tonight was called Mai.
Giving me guidance, my class tutor is Frank Gambino, trained as a graphic designer, however in recent years his main practise is in portraiture and figure studies. Frank’s studio is in Belsize Park, London, where he works on commissions and runs popular life drawing classes. However, conveniently for me, he is also running classes in East London, at the Tokarska Gallery.The Tokarska Gallery, a contemporary art gallery run by emerging artist Nadiya Pavliv-Tokarska.
I love these – i really like the ‘gaps’ left by sketches for viewer to complete themselves – i’m particularly loving the very first image
nice work!
Thanks! Most of the ‘gaps’ are from running out of time but it does keep things loose.
