Posting from the session from the other week. Progress feels quite slow, im trying a lot of different things and techniques to make watercolors do something that resembles my intentions. Wasn’t going to post because there is a lot of bad efforts lately (also when painting), but I like to see other people’s sketches too and I’m cheering them on in their artistic struggle even or especially when they don’t make highly commercially exploitable pictures.

Does your technical expertise match your artistic vision? Congratulations! You can draw!

I am very, very jealous…

At the sessions I am going to we are doing quick poses too (2-5 minutes) and I am using pencil for those. Included one from the last session that I liked. I’ll get there, one day!

I had some more chance to practice with my watercolors. I think I like the whole outline- filling im thing for now, forces me to make decisions about the design and stick to them. Also, maybe to plan out my drawings more.

It’s weird how I feel like I have less control the more I am doing these. I would have to do more and serious daily studies to get somewhere worthwhile I fear. I don’t really want to do that though. I have a stack of A5 paper im working through, after that I’ll be switching to pastels. Until then I’ll just try to gain some insights from this.

I had little time this week so I only attended one figure drawing session instead of my usual two. So I included some pencil drawings from last week, I am still trying out new techniques for all the media I use. With watercolor, I decided to get dark faster now. See if that helps. With pencil, i am doing some more hatching, but try to alter the line quality of the hatch marks instead of just drawing more of them.

Aand another figure drawing session this week :) at the very least, I am getting faster. This time, we only had 15 minute poses for the watercolors but I think I managed to get to a point.

Painted some more figures today with me watercolors. I added a bit of background in one.

We had nice models this week. One was a dancer, which means they are not great at holding still but the poses were expressive and interesting. The other was a woman that sat extremely still and had a natural elegance to her. Pleased how the drawings came out.

After missing two weeks of figuredrawing, I feel a tad rusty with these. I don’t have much paper left so I’ll try to make the best of the watercolor drawings I have left.
