Ignoring, A Certain Freedom

Ignoring, A Certain Freedom 

Not great sketches, but liked the theme. Some warm up poses from a session with “EL”. I wondered afterwards if this was planned?

Awake

Awake

No escape

from the music,

the silent drums,

the mumbled voices

messing up relied

upon memories

for the dreams

that allow sleep.

Went to two sessions, in two different places, one in the afternoon, the other the same night, a couple of days ago. Both models included at least one pose on their back arched over pillows, attempting a brief nap.  

Afternoon: 12”x 9” ink, graphite and chalk on craft paper

Night: 16”x 12” ink and graphite

Partial Exposure

In the process

of removing

her black dress,

still in boots,

a decision evolved,

resulting in

partial exposure

upon her prepared

pedestal.

Sketched last night at a session with this model in a black dress and boots. For most poses she removed the dress, and sometimes the boots.

Yes, I must acknowledge these fifteen minute sketches of “EL” were probably more enjoyable for me, drawing her, than for your review here of the sketches. But that’s just the way it is.

I enjoyed sketching her last night in a pub here in Edinburgh.

Okay he was just posing on the floor, this bearded model just below where I was viewing him from a chair.
