Humans and their activities, Sirkka Jalava

In wintertime there are many activities going on during the dark evenings. Once a week we are some people gathering together and drawing qroquis and painting a living model.  Modeling is one activity, the painting an other. Here I have only the model.  But you can see in your
 imaging a group around her which is drawing or painting.

These are perhaps 5 -10 minutes drawings.

  1. When my son took art in University he had a 18 year old girl to use as a model very firm breasted and all. . Then they had an older lady like myself. he said I never realized at 70 the body looks so horrid. The boobs down to second shelf and yikes wrinkles. So I am laughing here.

    Thinking how he felt so young a University looking at the models and having to draw them or sketch them.

  2. Your life drawing sketches are beautiful and so good for the rapid drawing in 5-10 minutes. I love the back view, you have the pose so perfectly and her hips are sumptuous. I like the way you have used shading. Almost every life-drawing class I have been to we have only had very elderly models, and because we are a small area it was so often the same man with the same problems Sparkle has described in her comment, including the boobs.

  4. So nicely done, Sirkka! I wish we had live model drawing available here but I don't know if i'd be quick enough, even if we did.
