Orchids and Lizards

1 Aug

This is one of our wonderful models from Swansea’s life drawing group. She’s a retired teached who has the most marvellous tattoos over her body; ants and flies running around being chased by lizards; pitcher plants and orchids trailing over her back and shoulders. I’ve used some of her tattoos as motifs in other parts of the drawing. She has a whole new career since she retired, inspiring artists.

    I loved to draw from bigger (fat) models in college…now I only have my wife :)

    Today I treated myself to an A6 sketchbook and then sketched fellow passengers on the train to Salford. Is this the top of the slippery slope…!
