3rd entry for Dec 17, 2013
These are three 5-minute studies above, two 10-minute ones below and a 15-minute ones at the bottom. The top two are Pitt calligraphy point pen on Canson XL Drawing paper. The 1-minute ones are a gray and a black Pentel brushpen on other Canson papers with pan pastel worked in post-session. The lower one is water-soluble graphite on 150 lb Maidstone paper with some additional graphite pencil added later. All are 18 x 24"
The Collective space acquired some big soft crash pads, and piled up in the corner they made a kind of landscape element. It is quite a big space with silks and other things ranged around. Michelle was moving around a lot within it, which was a good exercise too, having her sometimes in extreme close-up, others quite far away. For me it tends to be the closer the person, the bigger they are in my drawing.

1st entry for April 2, 2009




I was at Diane McGrath's Drawing Room studio on the Thursday. A- was back to work. This time she started with a combination of trapeze and hoop together, as an experiment.
The trapeze tends to create rectangles and paralllelograms to frame the figure, which combined with the circle of the hoop to make an intriguing geometric division of space within which A- 's poses were happening.
The double study has 30-second poses, the others were 1-minute each.
