86-2675-76 – Couples

Here are the last two sketches I did at the @PensNBrushesArt life drawing session on Friday 19th April. The two models put on some headgear (kind of crowns made from sticks and dried plants) and did some 20 minute couples poses. These were done using a mixture of #Derwent water soluble graphite sketching pencils and watercolour pencils, watercolour and ink. The last one is the sketch I was most satisfied with from the whole session.

85-2659 – Musical interlude

Finally I am moving on to posting some sketches done at the @PensNBrushesArt life drawing session on Friday 19th April. I haven’t been to life drawing for years – partly because of the pandemic, and partly because of the lack of sessions here in the Philippines. The session included two musicians who played for us (in the rather tiny studio) before the poses and as an interlude while the models switched over and rested. I was itching to get on with the drawing, so instead of waiting for the models I drew the musicians to start off (so not really an interlude in this one). This sketch was done in a few minutes with ink and oil pastel.
