I'm still rather tight in my arm movements in my Life Drawing today. I think that I need to practice larger freehand drawings more often, simply because I am usually confined to using an A4 Sketchpad. However, my attempts today have been created using shade and light, Chiaro e Scurro as I think the Italians might say... Thanks to Helen again, the model, who is extremely patient with our (especially mine) attempts, and to Jill for her ongoing patience in tutoring our group.
I need to flex my arm rather than my hand, and I must practice using proportionate representation in these sketches. Jill also suggested that I might try to use pencil to create an initial outline and then continue with Charcoal once the form is appropriately measured and represented. I'm still rather embarrassed at my attempts of life drawing, - the other students have natural skill, but I think my efforts are way behind in both skill and fluidity. Much to do ....
