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
oooffff! At this rate, it won’t just be a new kitchen she’ll be wanting
Such a beautiful picture, so much love in it
Thank you
She is a marvellous model and I have so much respect for her
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…!
oh yes ….. welcome to the dark side mwahahahaha
