life sketching

some 10 minutes poses from yesterday in a private model session ;)

  

  

    

collage - mixed media after a painting by Toulouse-Lautrec

the third and last collage for the project for school.
these works (plus Seurat's Bagnade I posted some months ago) are just pieces of papers torn from magazine, glued to the board. later i added some color or details with oil pastels, then acrylic varnish on top. 
the one after casas has also some gouache (témpera) beneath the oil pastel on the upper part of the work

mixed media after Ramón Casas "Madelaine"

finished version

watercolour sketch

I made a quick sketch of Cata and Ute while they were painting at the bothanical garden. Finally I decided to start using my first real moelskine ever. A student had brought it for me from France about 2-3 years ago.

and if i'm here typing, that can't be me either...

contest images / obras del concurso

these are the images with which i got the 2nd place in a contest at school based on artist Lola Mora's works. I think the exhibition is about to end in a couple of days...but i'm not sure if it already closed.

some life sketching

these are short poses, in general they are from 5 minutes to 1 minute (most of them). they are all mostly about A4 size sketches. in some of them there is a previous dry blot in gouache..

some life sketching - part 1

these repeated poses are related to the previous work () which was made on the same big paper; in this case I made each pose in different small papers about A4 size. there is a first blot in watercolours then pencil or pastel on top for the linework. there are two studies in black ballpen.

life drawing at school

life studies 2 (3x3)

These are quick poses, which the model repeats several times then one can keep on working once he's in the pose again. i did two different ones, and these was another one of these from some time ago, but i think i haven't uploaded it... not sure now...

I just found it in the PC, this one was done in july but we had to give up a few minutes after we had started to draw/paint. i had used a gouache wash then.

some quick life sketches

some life sketches from yesterday's class at school. some were 10 minutes some other 1 minute. theres also one in which there was a movement in an arm and a leg...

two collages after known paintings (still in progress)

i decided to make some studies of paintings, in this case one by spanish Ramón Casas and the other by the genious Georges P. Seurat. Of course my compositions varied a lot from the originals, but i didn't dedicate as much time as I should have, what i mean is that there are many differences in negative spaces, directions and proportions, but it was cause  started making a rough sketch with an oil pastel and begun collecting and pasting coloured papers, and didn't come back to the originals to review all that, just to compare some colours and work lightly on the shapes.

will try to pay more attention to that in the following studies, anyway these two are still in progress so maybe i'll make some arrangements... something i don't like at all is the missing part of the kid at the bottom-right in the collage after Seurat's painting, since it was cut in the book i used as reference...
