MODEL SESSION FROM STUDIO 19

2 MINUTE GESTURE DRAWINGS

Having multiple gesture drawings on the same page provides an opportunity to find some abstract compositions by tight cropping.  Using an empty slide holder as a viewfinder, I am sure there are some paintings waiting to be discovered!

BRUSH PEN DRAWINGS

A brush pen with real or synthetic hair (as opposed to a felt tip) is a wonderfully fluid drawing instrument.  It takes some practice to get a variety of line from it but a joy to draw with.  Here I combined two poses into one composition.  A little weird but fun.

I have combined two poses again and added a little diluted ink wash and a bit of charcoal to the brush pen.

ADDITION OF BLACK AND BROWN INK WASHES

As I work, I like to try different combinations of materials to see what works best.

Here I started with the ink wash without line, laying in the shapes of the black leotard and adding the ink line last.  Walnut ink wash with black ink brush pen.
