As an exercise, all #studies of Patrick for this session are layered on top of each other on a single sheet. They are drawn in compressed charcoal, chalk and sepia on A1 paper prepped with a green acrylic wash.
Poses ranged between 5 and 45 mins.
I really like the idea of a single drawing being a diary of the session – making marks on the page to build up record of time spent looking

Three attempts at an online life drawing exercise – each drawing using the same model with about 15 minutes in each of the 4 poses on the page.
In this special one-off course, students will make a life-size skull and build the facial muscles on top. Starting with copying from a life size replica of a skull, and continuing with anatomical diagrams and photographs as reference material, students will develop their observational and modelling skills. Clay and modelling materials are included. Clay modelling tools will be available to purchase at the Art Stables if students do not have their own already. Some previous clay modelling experience would be beneficial, but is not essential. Suitable for all levels of experience. Course materials included.
