My Croquis course started tonight! I joined over 20 enthusiastic artists and a model for a few hours of intensive creation. It’s always so much fun and so motivating and inspiring to draw with other people. And getting the chance to draw a live model is really really great. The first fast sketches I went for just capturing gesture, but the later poses I took a few moments to study anatomy of specific body parts too.

The poses were timed at 1 – 7 minutes. As I was wandering the room in the last break to study what other people had been doing I was so inspired by a lady who had gone for drawing with pastels. I had some watercolors in my bag, so I went for a bit of water and whipped those out with a brush and a lot of good faith to see where that would get me.

I had a lot of fun with it and I like the results of the fun playtime too. I am looking forward to next weeks class 🙂
