Nude Studies

nude 1aNearly every year I try to find the time to attend life classes and do quick sketches in ink, watercolour and charcoal – I particularly enjoy very quick studies of a series of poses of under 2 minutes.

 

Very often I use these sketches as a starting point for larger works but sometimes I present them and frame them up just as they are.  Here are a few examples of the original sketches and also some of the paintings that have evolved from them.
