so here are some stunningly effective charcoal drawings from the Monday afternoon PORTRAIT class. I am so glad I decided to lengthen the class time to 3 hours, so worth while, and our models have been great so far. I am trying to get a different model each time, and the new challenge every lesson pays off, just look at the results.
and here is the work from the second lesson this term,
and here is work from today, 19th May, when the work was straightforward to start with, and then the time scale changed, to five minute and ten minute poses, and we played about with the idea of staggered images, and how exciting they look too! Materials were ink, homemade and bought, with pen or just balsa wood stick pens, and water colour, and the odd bit of black or white chalk pastel for emphasis. The directness and energy of these images is really powerful, its amazing what you can do by just changing the rules a little!
