Getting back to real life.- Starting up life drawing again.

One of New Year intentions was to get back to real life experience.

After the pandemic it is great to go and meet people and attending activities again. Especially someone who works at home all day I need to see humans now and again.

I decided to take a life drawing class. The classes are run my Älmhults Konstförening.

I haven’t been to a life drawing class since Art College. A zillion years ago. Life drawing was an art practise that was something we had to do a lot of at Art School.

I forgot how much I loved it.

I think after years of drawing from reference photographs getting your observational drawing brain going can feel a bit challenging.

Not working digitally on an I pad and then switching to art materials another mind set.

The class was fun 1 minute drawing 5 minute drawing and 20 minutes drawings. It was a great to warm up.

Some of my drawings where really bad but it was part of the learning process. Here are few of. my not so bad ones.

Would I go again ? Yes

Will try. more observational drawing ?

Yes.
