Have you watched Celebrity Painting Challange in BBC 2 ? I watched the first episode. Good to see the tips that experts give about painting the human figure. Here the link.

Here some examples for you to get insprired.
Hope you are all well and happy

So…
after running a private life drawing class for a programme for ITV, I’ve decided to model for our session this Wednesday.
Why?
You all know I am very picky and sometimes hard with models. I see models doing the same poses again and again. Models who, perhaps, are not aware on how the human body has been represented by artist over history.
So…
I’ve decided to model and portray those styles that I like most, from the Classical era to the most contemporany. Expect extremely delicate poses along with the more complex and depth.

Some work below for inspiration
We have the opportunity to draw a flamenco dancer this Tuesday 19th of Feb at Studio Bee. She will be dancing to flamenco music very short routines for us to capture the rhythm and she will also pose still for the long poses. This is a good excersise to learn how to synthesise the human figure or portray the complexity of movement with numerous lines and expand our pallet of drawing skills.
The dancer is Sarah Chambers who’s studied with the best flamenco artists in Spain and runs her flamnco school here in Manchester called Espiritu flamenco: www.facebook.com/espirituflame

Materials are provided: paper, boards, pencils, rubbers and sharpeners, but feel free to bring your own inks, pastels, water colours or any other materials you like to work with for such special and colourful event.
During the break wine and light refreshments are available and there’s a chance to see other artists work, have a drink and a conversation. The sessions are untutored but follow a peer to peer learning style.
COST
£10 or £8 students and concessions. Please pay on arrival.
