        3 from life drawing yesterday

        charcoal – last one of the afternoon

        Second in acrylic on newspaper

        The third one was about using perspective boxes – something new to ponder – maybe not draw them like this but consider them in my head. Euan Uglow[/URL] and his use of perspective was one of the thoughts behind this experiment. I find his work too clinical and not emotional/moody enough for me but an interesting way of thinking.

        As usual on these particular sessions quick poses and about the ideas rather than producing finished pieces.

            Interesting life studies. I’ve not heard of Euan Uglow and will check him out :)

                I like Euan Uglow’s paintings but he was a bit anal on his measuring.

                I think you nailed the perspective of the mat in the third drawing

                    Nice series of drawings but love the looseness of the acrylic on newspaper.

                    To me the first one is the best of the three. I like its softness. I had a look at some Euan Uglow and really like his work, very simple and effective. Great idea using newspaper, I’ll remember that when the money finally run out :)

                        :) thanks all – I’m not a fan of EU but it was an interesting way of thinking for a change

                        I’ve just been looking at your site Vivien, it’s beautiful work. Are you watching Landscape Artist of the Year? Did you apply? You certainly should :)

                            thank you :)

                            No I don’t have Sky and I think I’d freeze under pressure like that!

                            I did look at E U but then I got sidetracked and didn’t get back to commenting here :rolleyes: some nice studies… and it looks like painting on a surface that doesn’t really matter can produce some carefree and expressive work!

                                yes painting on rubbish paper like newsprint can free you. It got crinkley and buckled but actually smoothed out a lot when I glued it into a sketchbook, which surprised me.

                                    Nice sketches. The newspaper one does have a lively, illustrative feel to it.

                                    I like the acrylic particularly the texture in her hair.
