life drawings 2

saturday, as usual we have classes at a cultural center, i assist the art teacher during the classes, help the students, and other stuff. so whenever there are a few minutes left, when nobody needs our help, i take a sketchbook or just a piece of paper and try to skecth the model. in this case they are 4-5 minutes sketches. i'm not looking for the details now, just trying to get the pose. i don't know if i do, what do you think about these? feel free to leave your comments or email me. Next saturday, if it doesn't rain (hope not!), we're going to take the class to sketch in a big square, where there are lots of people, trees, birds, buildings and statues all around, let's see what i can do. hope to have some free minutes to sketch with my watercolours.

Lovely, loose and relaxed, as usual. Your life drawings are a pleasure to the eye, Martín!

Hi Martin -
These are gorgeous. I especially love the connection of the figure to the fabric in the first one, and the loose, flowing quality. I received your message, and it's a deal for the portrait party - now I just have to find a decent picture - not such an easy task. I'll write you soon.

I really like the way you work with values in the second figure drawing and I also really like the watercolor from the park a few posts below. What colors are on your palette?

I really love these drawings, and the washes are perfect. You've done a great job on capturing emotion from the model's poses.
Really beautiful work!

As a student of life drawing, I think you have caught the pose of the model very well. I like the addition of the washes.
