Drawings

The secret is to keep going regularly. Here is a dog and a lady.

What is too much glaze?

Here are som old and glazed drawings. Life drawing is a healthy habit. A nice experience that requires concentration, observation, and which can be both very frustrating and satisfying. It helps with awareness and keeps you thinking of progress and failure, daring to experiment and perfecting your own tricks.

I started going to life drawing sessions in Academia Peña in Madrid, around 1995 where I was preparing my entry exam for Fine Arts. Two days a week, I spent a few hours drawing statues with chalk coal and patience. On Fridays, there life drawing sessions were so much more exciting, with new models every time and a lot of students of different levels and ages. At the end of the session, we would lay our best drawings on the tables and Mr Peña himself would comment on them.
