Thoughts after the first week

I really love to “draw from life.” I have done this since I was 16 and I'm now 83. As I draw I am in deep meditation and every time I feel different.I can't guess how my work will go,It has its own rules and I am just so excited at where it takes me. It's like going on an adventure. The results are not “Good” or “Bad”. The results aren't as important to me as the actual experience of creating.

Nude-a-day 5: Tom digging

Sumi (Japanese black ink) drawing, 27.5x40 cm.

I felt powerful as I drew with the sumi (Japanese black ink) and big brush.  I diluted the ink for this study.

Sometimes I feel it is like bungee jumping when I work, taking risks, there is no going back.  It's scary and exciting and you have a picture at the end.

Nude-a-day 2: Sonia sleeping

Study is 35.5 x 27cm. Pastel, water colour and ink. 

I chose the light grey pastel paper to work with the flesh tones, ink and brush for detail. Then, when it dried, soft pastel for the cushions and quilt allowing the paper texture to show.

Nude-a-day 1 - Maria in a trilby

This series of nude studies was drawn in 2019. This picture is my most recently drawn - two weeks ago. The poses are usually very quick, often a few minutes, which forces the essence of the pose, time taken is rarely over 30 minutes.

This study is in soft pastel, 24.5 x 30 cm on sand coloured pastel paper. I chose the paper colour to work with my model's skin colour with highlights in white.

I intend to post one nude study a day during January and February. I hope you like them. If you like them enough, you can buy the original. £100 unframed plus P & P. Email me for more information at nandnjmellersh@yahoo.co.uk.
