Friday drawing was OK. I've had this great idea for years and tried it out for the first time, but I need to change the size of the paper and/or think of how to move the sheet quickly so I can keep up with the class. The idea was to do a bunch of quick gesture drawing on one long sheet, so it looks like there are a lot of people at first, but they are all the same person, in the nude. (Sorry for the... sorry pic; this paper is perhaps 90cm high.)
Everybody loved the new model but she was covered in half-finished and seemingly unrelated North American tattoos and I kept feeling sick to my stomach. I didn't enjoy the session at all, which is too bad because she would have been a lovely model without the tats.
Yesterday I took some rusty pics of the
Refinery door. I had the light spot on on a couple of these so I didn't have to tamper with saturation, which is always nice.I love the rust colors, though some of these parts were painted as well, I think. Just so you know.
EDIT:

A-MAZING!

Lovely textures in those rust photos!
Thank you. I've always loved these rust colors.
One of the most beautiful color combos out there.....rust and blue/green patina. Great pictures. And I think your sketching looks good.
Thank you, Marei. I do like that very fast and loose queue/row/group of the same person. I do. Ben though it was a little like an old mural.
Very interesting photos! I enjoy looking at the colours and textures. Maybe these are sketchbook work?
These were great fun, Dot. I don't know how many times I sat in front of their door taking these, but before the gallery opened and with nobody coming or going, it was a great opportunity. Yes, I think they can be used in collages, yes, I agree!
