Babe With the Power

   Ain't thrown any life drawing up on here in a while. Which is a shame I tend to look forward to it after all and I think it's where some of my best work gets produced. So I figured it might be worth taking a look at some of the stuff we've been up to recently. We've had a fair few new approaches thrown at us and it takes a lot of will power to suck it up when it goes wrong. Thankfully though a couple o' weeks back we got to start using either watercolour or ink. Now when I was doing life drawing back in college 90 percent of the work I produced was with ink. The only difference was I only use black for a sort of tonal effect whereas we've been getting to play around with colour.

   Really enjoyed getting to do this kinda stuff again though it might just be because I'm comfortable doing it but in any case what came next was a little more awkward. Inspired by Matisse we had to nuke a few sheets of paper with emulsion paint and then try and recreate both scene and figure with a collage. Which is more stressful than it sounds let me tell you. I mean it's fun once you can get out of the mindset that you don't know what you're doing and the results gonna be awful because of it. Thing is as well they didn't look half bad all my class did a great job despite the fact we were basically pissing and moaning the whole time. Just goes to show we should probably keep an open mind.
