Last week I went to my first life drawing class of the year. We had a stand-in model, one of the class, as the booked model cancelled just before the class started.
I took the big tip from last year’s classes and bought myself a roll of paper from the kids section of IKEA for the short poses. As you can see you just keep rolling it up and over the easel.

For my quick poses I used coloured pencils, part of my drive to start using all those stray art materials I have hanging around.
For the longer poses I swapped over to watercolour. Our group is quite eclectic in terms of media. We ranged from pencil to digital, acrylic and watercolour.



Great fresh drawings. Like the roll tip too.

Yes that roll of paper is so good. I plan to use it up and then probably work on the other side. I have also found that doing drawings of two short poses, one on top of the other not only saves paper waste but makes both drawings look so much better.😄

Yes I have done that before, a different coloured pencil/crayon for each!

Yes! I find it easier to get into “the flow” with this than almost any other type of practice.

Great drawings Leonie – I love the paper roll. Wouldn’t it look good draped around a room for display?!

That’s a great idea. I certainly plan to keep it intact for present.
