Juliet

Life drawing
“Juliet Reclines”, 2019, sanguine pencil and chalk pastel on pastel paper, 12″ x 9″

Drawn from life at The Moon and Nude Clapham, February 2019.

This pose felt so self-possessed, and I was lucky to have such a great diagonal angle to try and capture. This was an early experiment with sanguine pencil, and with pastel paper which created this rough dappling effect.

Carla I

Life drawing
“Carla Seated”, 2018, vine charcoal and pastel on sugar paper, 14″ x 10″

Drawn from life at The Moon and Nude Clapham, March 2018.

Carla is always such a vibrant and friendly sitter, and while this piece is very rough and sketchy, I do like that it manages to catch a facial likeness, and shows the effort and dynamism that she puts in to all of her poses with the tension in the back and arm.
