Life Drawing: Perspective

28/8/2020

0 Comments

 
Thursday 27th August: This week we look at 2- and 3-point perspective for our online life drawing session with Fra. At the beginning of the session I gave a quick demo about the perspective. The images below are a reminder for those who participated.

The first drawing I actually did this morning to show the base rectangle around the figure split 1/2 and then into 1/4s for an approximate area to mark mid-way through the chest, the hip joint and the knees. It is only an approximation. The diagonal lines are used to find these 1/2 and 1/4 points and are especially useful when the lines of rectangle are converging to a vanishing point.  

For 3-point perspective - The vanishing points are named V1, V2 and V3. V1 is somewhere in the air disappearing far away above you, you should start with these lines first (the sides of the rectangle if up right). V2 and V3 are place on an imaginary horizon in the distance normally drawn 1/3 from the bottom of the page or 2/3 in a straight line from one side to the other. This is good for extreme perspective drawing that can be achieve by our models place their camera on the floor tilted up towards them.

In theory the V1 vanishing point could be somewhere below the horizon line, this good if you imagine you are bird flying overlooking down towards humans from above.  

Btw Bookings are open for 'The Long Pose', 13th September 1pm-5.30pm and block bookings for the Thursday Night Life Drawing Group ready for to book up on to December.

Life Drawing Journal: Adaptation

I now facilate regular online life drawing sessions. Full information can be found here-
www.peneloperosecowley.com/life-drawing.html

Each session has a focus either on a theme or an artist/s. I have begun this journal to keep a record of themes, artists and thoughts that arise from life drawing. This is the first and it is over month ago we began.

The New ‘Thursday Night Life Drawing Group’ began on the 16th July 2020 during lockdown.



Making the decision to adapt to online sessions was not easy however with the help and expertise of our main life models Fra and Andrew it was made possible.
 
Our Main Life Models are Fra and Andrew. Andrew has extensive experience and is an adventurous model he has introduced himself on the webpage-
https://www.peneloperosecowley.com/life-drawing.html

Fra, our excellent life model is also a photographer, artist, and writer. Fra’s article with regards to her experiences transmuting to online, provides a wonderful insight into the Life Drawing from a Model's perspective.

After a wonderful start to our regular Thursday Night Life Drawing Group, I am incredibly pleased to announce that these sessions will be continuing through till next year. It has been truly brilliant to meet new people and see familiar faces coming to the sessions from beginners to people who are also Art Tutors themselves. It is also very lovely to note we are international with three of our members joining in from Florida! All made possible by adapting online.
 
The Thursday Night Life Drawing Group is based over 2 hours with 90mins life drawing. For the first 15 minutes we ‘Meet and Greet’ and talk about the sessions ahead and the poses will we be looking at for inspiration. In these first 15 minutes I occasionally provide quick demonstrations. We then proceed to the poses; beginning with short poses gradually building up to a longer poses. The long pose is often based on a painting or a drawing by an artist we have been looking at, here are some examples-

Caravaggio's - Saint John the Baptist
Seung Ah paika -  Various artworks inspired from here 
Laura Knight - Self Portrait with a Nude 1913
Syliva Guillot – Everything with a twist
Tamara de Lempicka - Rhythm 1924 (link is written in French)
John Singer Sargent - Drawing of Nicola D'Inverno who lived with Sargent as a household servant and was often a Model for Sargent too for 25 years.


Following the drawing session we have a 15 mintue 'Chat and Review' where by we show our work to each other and we informally offer feedback.

Other sessions for longer poses will be taking place on weekends once a month the first of the long pose sessions will be Sunday 13th 1pm - 4.30pm. For more information click the link-
