Work in Progress

Recognise the pose? I've changed it around a bit and when I find some time... maybe after baby is born and our big move, I'll finaly be able to add a bit of xXluvinlifeXx to it!

Well Toned

'Watercolour Nude'
24 x 32 cm
Watercolour on Paper
This piece was drawn from a reference picture of a real model. Mixing the colours for the skin tone was quite easy. I love playing with colours! My first thought was to add the dark shadow in the background but I didn't like the dark atmosphere. Her pose is quite graceful and romantic and I wanted that to stand out.

Portrait Study

'Deep in Focus'
21 x 30 cm
Charcoal Pencil on Paper
I set myself a life drawing study and decided on portraying 'hubby'. As he wouldn't keep still long enough (bad model), majority of his features are out of place or under scaled. Better luck next time. Or maybe I'll try a quick one while he's sleeping!

I'm quite surprised at how quick I managed to draw this. All while babygirl was taking a nap! I think I'm ready for a live model... Where's hubby at???!

Out in the garden...

'Flowers of Blue'
24 x 33 cm
Watercolour on Paper
Loved going with the flow on this piece! It soothed my watery soul! Awaiting the next free moment I have to play with this medium.

Oh no not a naked lady!

We have been studying the human form at class recently and this was one of my productions. Hope you like. Not a bad start if I do say so myself!
