It seems I always place the 40 minute supine pose at the top of my Thursday posts as it is generally the one I like best for some reason. It could be that I am feeling warmed up and more confident by the time we get to the third pose or that I love the reclining viewpoints the most. All drawings were done in ebony pencil on smooth blue paper provided by the instructor.
The model liked this effort as she felt I captured a good likeness of her, however, I found this one the most difficult as the landscape of backs always provide a challenge for me.
This standing pose was 20 minutes and I am most happy with the upper body and mid section. I didn't have time to pay much attention to the drape she was holding.
Fellow blogger and artist John Simlett got me thinking about Winston Churchill lately and then I happened upon this quote from Sir Winston:
"The way to be happy is to find something that requires the kind of perfection that's
impossible to achieve and spend the rest of your life trying to achieve
it."
That about sums up this art endeavor for me quite succinctly and I hope you are all as happy on your artistic journey as I am on mine!
