Mixed bag tonight. Mostly pen and watercolours, but I made a schoolboy error not bringing enough watercolour paper, so there’s some conté crayon and black pencil crayon in there too.
Hopefully I’ll have some fun stuff to post next week that’s not my usual life drawing fare… before the life drawing on Thurs. We’ll see how that goes…

Only half a session tonight… curse you tiredness
Had fun again tonight – seems the recipe is just to not try too hard and go where the pencil takes me ;)
“Heavens, you’re etching!” …quote from tonights class :D
Had fun a Life Class tonight, really cut loose with the colour. Nice to try techniques that are much freer and more impressionist. No class next week as its half term and I’m away on hols after that, so colour craziness will have to wait for a while for the next explorimentation :D
Had fun tonight – took a while to get warmed up, but the last 45 mins were an eye opener. First time that I used the same technique as the dry point etchings – blending together multiple poses into one drawing, but this time in colour. Fun times…
Pics from tonights class…
More pics from the stenchbook to celebrate a rainy bank holiday Monday… :D
Back for the start of a new class again… :D
Life Class spring term starts again next week so another leap back to drawings past. This batch is from what I affectionately named the Stenchbook! Something must have gone awry in the chemicals making this thing cos it smells bad. Real bad. So bad it was embarrassing using it in a crowded room in case anyone thought that smell was me… dig the drawings though :D Enjoy.
