Nude a day 60: Two three-minute poses

News!  Jeanie is currently running a "How to Draw" people class on Youtube.  First lesson is here and you can follow the series from her channel "Colourfulworld of Jeanie" (Non-English people note the "u" in "Colourful"!!)

I like these two poses showing the model's graceful figure.

Nude a day - Last one today|

After 60 nude,s one every day in January and February I am ending this series today Feb 29th 2020.  There will be occasional posts on this blog over the next months - some nudes, some other things.  Thanks to everyone who looked at this series. Let me know if you have enjoyed them.

Two videos about drawing

Video 1: Watch this - and start drawing

 

To mark the end of the series Jeanie has produced another video encouraging everyone to draw.  It includes her drawing an under 2-minute sketch of her husband Nick. See below.

This was a short pose but a complex one with the sun lighting her up from behind.  I like it.

Nude a day 46: See a pin and pick it up

See a pin and pick it up - All the day you'll have good luck!

See a pin and let it lie - Have bad luck until you die!

All because of a pin! Anyway,

I had good luck that day. I am very pleased with this sketch.

Nude a day 37: Getting up slowly

Brown pastel on white paper 37 x 30 cm

I found this an intriguing pose. It was as if she had her back turned to me but became interested in something in a different direction.

Nude a day 35: This feels so good

Charcoal on white paper. 39 x 27.5 cm

When I looked at this picture, a few weeks after I drew it, I thought at first, she looked really sad, and then I saw it in a new light. She is really relaxed in all her body and her arms comfortably lie crossed over her ankles. Her head and hair are gently resting, and she is ready to enjoy the moment. I love this pose. It is very sculptural – it all fits into place.

Nude a day 32: A snooze on a sunlit beach

I was keen to draw her strand of plaited hair so I then had a problem of extreme forshortening of her body. I really like this picture. It takes me to the beach, the sunlight and warmth looks good today (on this cold January day.) Breasts always flatten as you lie flat (unless they are implants!)

Nude a day 30: Holding my toe

Brown pastel on white paper, 31 x 29 cm

I like the very simple line on this one. Has she got a splinter? She looks a bit in pain. We can't always smile for our pictures, so this is different.

Nude a day 27: Bulbs to plant

Charcoal on white paper. 22x41 cm

I like to draw figures working on an activity. He is sorting a bowl of bulbs before planting. This loose charcoal technique portrays the heavy body of a well-built man.

Nude a day 25: Cheek on my arm

Charcoal on white paper. 25.5 x 40 cm

Charcoal is so versatile and will give you all the depths and subtleties of a black and white photograph. The black can be so intense a black and the delicate softest smudges like a faint drift of smoke almost invisible, fine and delicate. You can draw with so delicate a touch the charcoal almost floats over the surface or with such energy the charcoal splutters into fragments as you draw the fine line. Yet it is so very inexpensive. Sometimes I draw with a chunk out of a spent bonfire. That is so unpredictable, it is quite an adventure. The final result can be fixed with an aerosol spray. The drawing will not fade or darken for an extremely long time.

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.

To learn more of my art go to www.jeanie.mellersh.org.  Or you can visit my Youtube Channel "Colourful World of Jeanie" for short videos on incidents in my life.

If you want to purchase a high definition print of this drawing, or any in the series, contact me via nandjmellersh@yahoo.co.uk.  A3 size will cost you £40 uk plus postage. A 4: £35 uk plus postage.
