I have started a new blog showing the efforts of our locallife drawing class which I run every Wednesday evening during the school term in the Waihi College drama room. The class is a mixture of ages and experience, from absolute beginners learning to draw to experienced artists who are happy to have a model available for practice or creating new works based on the human form.
Our young model, Samantha, has a go at drawing her Mum who was our other model at the class last night
Samantha throws us her special Star pose and the crowd goes wild..
Mother and Daughter together. Trying to draw two people in short poses was a challenge for everyone but lots of fun for Samantha's bright energy just lit up the whole room.
Last night at the Life Drawing class our model brought along her dog, Nuba, so I took time out from looking out for the various artist's interests to draw her. In this pose Nuba is obediantly playing "dead dog" and is laying beside her Mistress who is sitting on the podium with her arm around Nuba. If you can't see our model's arm around the dog it's because you have no imagination at all or maybe because I didn't draw it. You choose.
