Nude a day 31. Remembering special moments

Pencil sketch on white paper.  Two nude female models sitting, one facing forward the other back, as if they are chatting to one another.  The dark negative shapes of the background deliniate the figures without emphasis on the outline.

Pastel on brown pastel card. The nude female model is slightly turned away from  the viewer and stepping forward.

Nude a day 21: Rosy afterglow

Pastel on warm brown pastel card,  5 minute pose.  The nude female model is seated side view on a light yellow quilt.  The sunlight catches her knees, her lower arms, between the shoulders and upper chest, breast, cheekbones and forehead,  The light stripe on the quilt gives a sense of diagonal movement to the seated pose.  For a longer pose I would have drawn into the hands resting on her thigh, and put a cool colour in the background.

Brown pastel on white paper.  Five minute sketch. The picture shows a nude female model from the side.  She is sitting on a couch with her face leaning on her hands and the rose tattoo on her leg showing prominently.
The dark pastel tones behind bring forward the body. I have not shaded behind the hair whch has it's own shadows. I feel the weight of the body on the soft quilt.

Nude a day 18: Today will be wonderful

Light red pastel on white pastel paper. The picture is a front view of a nude female model sitting with her elbows on her knees and her hands clasped together near her face.  Knees are together, feet apart.  I like the expressive effect of red pastel drawn on rough white paper.

Nude a day 17: Morning Dew

Charcoal on white paper.  The picture shows a seated nude from behind in a 2 minute pose drawn with a single line. I like the way the speed of the very brief time alloted to the posecreates a simplicity of line. All detail is ignored onllythe lightness and the weight of the line is shown.

Day 16 - Strolling along

This a light pencil drawing and I have shaded the backgrounfwhich works very well as the model stands out. The picture shows a female nude walking, half turned towards you. . A light delicate drawing and I put darker accents into the hair.  Her face is turned away but she is in a dream world and very happy.

Below in a vudeo I talk about the first 16 nudes in the "Nude a day" series, about how the pictures were done and what I think about them.

Day 15: Amazing graceful flexibility

She effortlessly swung into this pose and asked "How long would you like? 20 minutes?" We settled on three minutes.

Charcoal on white paper, the picture shows a nude woman in an extreme position holding her  foot bent behind her in the crook of her arm.  In three minutes there is barely time to look and assess, the charcoal flies silently inro speedy action, capturing the basic sweep of the pose, where light and shade falls and that's it.  A lot of fun, like an adventure. Often the result is incomprehensible, but it is the experience of doing it that is the main thing, the result is an added bonus - sometimes.

Day 14 - Asleep on blue quilt

Pastel on grey pastel ground. The picture shows a nude woman lying on a blue quilt with deep shadow behind the body, left arm up past her head, left leg draped over right folded knee.  I like the colours I've used, the turquoise blue quilt, the rose tinged flesh and the deep purple blue beyond that fades to a medium cyan.

Day 8: Adjusting her hair - front view

Three-minute pose. Charcoal on pastel paper, female nude, full frontal pose, sitting, arms up, hands behind her head, which is looking down towards her left side. Right toe tucked behind left thigh, her balance is quite perfect.  This pose is similar to the back view in the previous post on January 7th, but the pose is not the same.  I would like to see them hung as a pair, like the picture below.  I would put them so that they are looking towards each other, rather than looking as if they are two women who are not speaking to each other even though it ise the same model.

Pastel painting on dull dark brown pastel card with subdued lighting and with a pink carpet and rosy pink highlights. The picture shows a nude woman relaxing and dreaming in late afternoon light.

Day 3: Dreaming on top of the world


A ten minute sketch, charcoal on paper. It shows a female nude sitting on a quilt.  I like this pose, it's sculptural and compact.  As a teenager I sculpted a figure in a similar position.  The model chose this pose herself. To me she looks as if she is sitting on top of the world.

Day 2: Morning has broken



This is the second in the series of my nude-a-day life drawings I am posting every day throughout January and February. This series was painted during October and November 2018.

The picture is an A3 pastel drawing.  It shows the back view of a female nude on a blue quilt with a dark background. This began as a pastel drawing and I scanned it and worked into the scan using Corel Painter.  I began cleaning up fingermarks and found I was working into the painting digitally without realising it. This is a whole new experience I accidently discovered.

Happy Newd Year - Day 1 A halo of golden light

 

This is the first of a series of nude studies that I am going to post every day through January and February 2019.

It is a pastel painting of a seated nude woman on dull green pastel card, size approximately A3.  As are most of the works.  I like it a lot because the pose is natural and the colours are bright.  On that day the natural light was very low because of a thundercloud, so I added the bright halo behind the model.
