Today's uploads are from Monday 24 January 2011 - Session focus was on line, shape, colour and pattern.
Artists are going to have to get back to me on who is responsible for which drawing.
On paper, using an H or HB pencil, the outline of the figure was drawn to give a guideline Brightly coloured chalk pastels were used to create a background and then a water wash applied to blend the colour, before filling in any detail on the figure.

This drawing looks dynamic and it appears that the model has only paused momentarily for the image to be captured. The artist has used bold lines and darker tones to show how the fabric of the clothing is creasing as the model appears to twist. The angle of the hips, knees and shoulder add to this illusion giving the impression of movement.

7.In this drawing I was trying to elongate the figure and draw it as if the viewer were looking upwards at the model. I don't think this has worked at all well and have achieved the opposite effect, also the drawing looks as if the torso and the legs have been cut from two different images, from slightly different viewpoints, and then pasted together at the waist.
Lines vary in pressure but not in thickness and a shadow below the figure would have helped to define the enclosing space.
I'm pleased, 'though, that the feet appear to be sharing the weight of the figure more or less equally.
8.The orange in this drawing strikes a contrast with the blue of the figure's sleeve and I think this works particularly well.
The figure seems to be standing some way in front of the orange background creating a 3D effect. I particularly like the darker blue colour at the edges which helps to give a perception of depth and the change in brush stroke direction on the shoulder, under the arm and on the sleeve all help to define the model's shape.
