Life Drawing
![]() The Northampton Life Drawing Group meets every second Tuesday in the month in Weston Favell and offers a range of models with poses ranging from 2 minutes to 25minutes. The shorter poses can be quite challenging and demand a good grasp of gesture and proportion fundamentals. I find these short poses can best be tackled using charcoal. ![]() The Life drawing group in the Alfred East Gallery in Kettering meets on the third Wednesday of every month and provides models which adopt only three poses during a session: Two 10 minute and one for approx 90 minutes. This allows a different range of techniques to be employed including the use of my favourite oils. Although it takes a bit more setting up time with easel and oils, its worth the effort as drawing with a brush rather than pencil or charcoal stick is closer to my normal painting practice. |
