WHAT?
This was a two-hour life session with a model from Brooklyn holding (excellently) a wide range of poses which allowed us to move from 1 min poses, to 2 min, etc, ending with three 15 min poses.
SO WHAT?
I worked in an A3 sketchbook; some of the pages already had random designs on them in acrylic paint where I had cleaned off my roller after some printing. I had also on this day been playing around making egg tempera; I had a small amount of black paint left and I knew that it was not recommended to keep this for use from day to day, so I diluted it with a lot of water in a jar and used it as ink, applied with a rigger.
A great, very concentrated session with an experienced model able to offer a huge range of poses – thank you 2Bornot2B and OCA!
NOW WHAT?
- I now know that, if you dilute egg tempera enough, you get an effective ink
- Drawing with a brush stops you fiddling and makes you commit
