40 min Life drawing, A2, pastel/charcoal on brown paper, © Jesamine Kelly 2009

I went to a life drawing session at The Art Room in Footscray, Melbourne. A great two hour session, starting with short poses and finishing with 20 minute poses. A professionally run space and fantastic model. I have't done any life drawing for about 5 years. It all came back to me and then I tried my watercolour pencils (without water) for the last pose. 20 minute watercolour pencil

sketching the nude figure.

5 minutes goes by so fast when I'm drawing ...but it seemed like forever when I was doing these poses ... Anna did these cool drawings !

This month I've been doing a full day a week at life drawing to hopefully work on my painting. There are moments where I feel I'm kind of "getting it" but then others where its a whole lot more difficult. I'm still working at that transition of drawing what I see (and copy) to what I understand. Its fun in a way that you almost surrender yourself by that I mean that in order to make something look 3 dimensional you have follow a way or method to get the effect you want to achieve.
