These three paintings are what I created in my last life drawing session. I am very pleased with them all as I feel iv'e understood the artists and how they use lines and colour in their work. Researching into the artists was a big help, this is because during my life drawing lessons I was able to look back on it and have visual references to observe whilst painting and drawing the model. After three to four life drawing sessions I realised that drawing people isn't one of my strong points, however painting them is a different matter, I do enjoy painting them as I feel I can be not as precise and detailed, this is a good thing as I feel I can be bolder with the lines and can experiment more with the material. Looking back on my work now and comparing it to the pencil and chalk drawings, my painting skills are a lot stronger.
After painting two standing positions of the model, someone then requested for a seated pose. In some way this made me worry and I felt as if paint was not and option for this pose and would not work. So I began by drawing in pencil. As you can see in the centre of the paper there are some pencil markings, that is where I began at the start of the ten minute pose. However after my teacher explained to me how going from a large scale to a small scale is difficult I went back to painting, although I only got the outline of her body as I had ran out of time, I feel that it could of been a good finished painting. I have learnt that I shouldn't avoid the hard way and take the easy route when drawing the seated positions and that I should use paint more often in whatever position he or she is in.
This is one of Franz's famous paintings. It is called 'Small Seated Figure", it was painted in 1947. This is one of my favourite paintings from Franz's work as I find it very attractive and abstract, this is why I used it in some of my life drawings. The way the black arcs and bold points in the painting form around the body are inspiring to me and create a defined look to the painting this is another reason why I used it in my work.
