I thought that I would start to post a few life drawings from the weekly sessions at the Sussex County Arts Club in Brighton on Tuesday evenings. I have been going regularly for the past six months as I use it to get myself back after a long lay-off to drawing from the figure again and together with my regular attendance of the Monday afternoon painting sessions, represents a determination on my part to improve my general artistic skills. I know for a fact that improving your drawing also improves your painting and hope that through these efforts I will be able to bridge the gap between what my work currently looks like to what I know that I am capable of if I can kick away the last barriers that separate them. Incidentally these past six months of drawing and painting from life have encouraged me to go on a painting/sketching trip to Southern India in mid-October (hopefully the heat and crowds don't discourage me!). More about that in forthcoming posts.
