Here are a couple of photos from the Lumiere light festival in London I went to this weekend on Saturday - 

Life Drawing Week 6

For the last week of life drawing, I wanted to again use acrylic paints, however I experimented with another colour scheme; reds, yellows and oranges. I also used a purple colour to the especially dark areas. Overall I'm happy with how it came out, however I was unable to get it all finished within the time - this is a key area that I need to improve in.

Life Drawing Week 5

Last night was the first week of life drawing after Christmas. I have concluded that I don't like drawing a side on reclining pose. Even though it should be easier, all my better drawings are seated poses or a portrait view of a reclining pose.  Although my first attempt didn't turn out so well with the reclining pose, I wanted to try again with using the acrylic paints on the second pose. Since I have trouble with making a skin tone, I used blues, and overall I'm happy with how it came out - something I want to use more in my work.

First attempt that failed
