Had a long, relaxing Sunday, during which I watched the entirety (minus the Christmas Special) of series 2 of Downton Abbey in preparation for the premiere of series 3. Totally worth it!
The week kicked off with a quiet Monday morning and some life drawing in the afternoon. Our model did a walk cycle around the room. I know it is a common figure drawing practice, but I had not tried it before and was very pleased with how freeing it was. My studio has begun to accumulate bits and pieces, and I am beginning to stick up my best new work for increased motivation.
My favourites from figure drawing so far.
Advanced drawing began last week with an introduction to our first project, which must be something about identity. I have been sketching furiously since receiving the prompt. Of course my work will be figure based, but none of it will be a literal self-portrait. We are to produce one or two large scale pieces and a few smaller studies. Because I have no classes on Wednesdays, I was able to spend the entire eight hours in the studio, beavering away on brown paper.
Future "Identity" project drawing.
The first of several studies.
Study I, detail.

Just for fun, but I like where this could take me.
