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!
