Wow, … no easel today, no charcoal, no newsprint, just a 4B pencil and smooth drawing paper. Inbetween a stint at watercolours, which actually doesn’t look too bad for a noob like me.
Tutor wasn’t there tonight, so I took over the role of setting the timer, I also sat all night at a desk, which was probably quite hilarious for the other students.
We begin with three 5 minute poses, then <coffee break>, then two 10 minute poses, then <small chat (break)> and a 15 minute pose, then <walk around and inspect “competition” break>, then 20 minutes for the watercolour (started with 3B sketching, then an obviously non-water-resitant Japan-nib 0.5mm Derwent fineliner and finally the watercolours, that’s where the fineliner ink starts to show its non-water-resistance), then <yawn, stretch and take a break>,
in the End a 13 minute sketch for me (3B) … and clear up and go home to a glass of Prosecco.
Great drawings here, will return for a proper look 😉

Thnx! I enjoyed browsing your blog, too. Liked the letter to van Gogh, like your line work. Are you familiar with the “Gibson Girl”? I like your combination of handwriting and sketch.
