Illusion

 Charcoal pencil and coloured chalk. Only yellow, green and a dash of blue. The flesh tints are an optical illusion.

Cubism

At the Tuesday session of the The Jolly Sketcher. Model Faith.

In repose

Model: Carla

1960s Feel

Loulou is an anarchic model who pulls me into unexpected places. On this occasion she landed me in Post_War London.

A Begonia in winter

I did this in early January, the first week in fact. Pleased as I was with it, I couldn't help reflecting that it is probably the best thing I'll do all year.
Model: Begonia

Two approaches to Sophie

The same model in similar poses from the same viewpoint drawn one week apart. For the top one we were asked draw inspiration from the work of Egon Schiele. In the bottom there is barely any line at all. I used to work with the maxim that there are no lines in nature and tried to define everything by shadow alone, so this drawing is a reversion to that.

Both drawn at the Life Drawing sessions at the Oak And Pastor pub, Junction Road, London N19. Tutor Jonathan Ellis.
