First of Wednesday's life drawings. She seemed to be dancing so I gave her some lyrics #dancing#motown#pastel#charcoal#lifemodel#happy#babybaby

Last week's life drawings. #lifemodel#malefigure#worksonpaper#charcoal#pastel#human

Two of my little smoke-fired figures from a few years back, alongside a painting by #hyeyoungmaeng from her exhibition at King St Studios in Lancaster #sculpture#clay#koreanartist#saggarfired#smokefired#humanfigure#lifestudy

Two half hour poses. #lifedrawing#femalenude#charcoal#colouredcharcoal#drawingoftheday#figurestudy

The last of the previous week's life drawings in seated pose #lifedrawing#malefiguredrawing#charcoal

Three seated poses, same model, coloured charcoal with blue pastel. #lifemodel#drawing#charcoal#derwentxlcharcoal#unisonpastels

Yesterday's life drawing, 45 minute pose with some colour added later. 60 x 80 cm approx #lifedrawing#malefiguredrawing#charcoal#pastel#largescale#monumental#artistsoninstagram

Image 1, drawn from life. Image 2, the same with colour additions. 'Decorative' meets 'real.' I'm often torn between the two. #lifedrawing#femaleform#nudeinart#charcoalandpastel

Life drawing (1) developed as a painting (2&3). I'd been looking at those almost mask-like heads by Richard Diebenkorn. It's an approach that helps convey the fact that life modelling can be pretty uncomfortable. #diebenkorn#lifedrawing#paintingthenude#lifemodel#lyingdown

Painted a couple of summers ago. From the Wildflower Meadow, Ryelands Park #ryelandspark#landscapeart#summer#lancaster#acrylicpainting#parks#peaceful#summerdays

Study after Delacroix' Women of Algiers in their Apartments. Toning down my colour palette a bit, as I can't judge my usual high key colours properly in winter light. Acrylic and pastel on paper , 60 x 43 cm #acrylicpainting#delacroix#womenofalgiers#northernart#limitedpalette
