Missing Golf

Yes, I am missing golf. Received the new "ClubLink Life" magazine recently and in it was an article about the new ClubLink course (Glendale Golf and Country Club) in Hamilton. Can't wait for spring to go check it out. I like tree lined, old courses, ones with a lot of charactor and history This course dates back to 1919. A couple of quick sketches to keep me thinking about the upcoming season.

Small Line Drawing

Small female (4" x4") india ink on stonehenge paper. A simplified line drawing from last monday night figure drawing session. (Untitled Female No. 10)

Gesture Drawings

First figure drawing session of new year on Monday night at the ARTS Project. Model was great! Young, energetic, tall thin structure, the way she would tilt hips almost to extreme, her graceful curves especially graceful fingers, and her short spiky angular dark hair made her fun to draw. I found her poses to easy to stylize and easy to see the lines of movement. These black ink marker gestures drawings were 1 to 2 minutes.

New Year

I picked up my remaining artworks from Night Cap Gallery on Sunday. They are closing for the remaining winter months and but will re opening April 1. At that time, I plan to have some more artwork with them. That brings me to my new years goals... last years goal was to exhibit or show work outside London. Accomplished that with Parkhill (Night Cap Gallery), Bayfield (JMR Gallery) and Muirkirk (Boothill Jamboree), althought not all as succesful as I wanted, but you have to try it, to see what works. This year, my goal is to post once a week.

Sketching the white stuff

Can't remember last time I spent time sketching the white stuff. The walk to work by the Thames River. No plein air this time of year. Snapped some photos while walking to work and did some quick sketches.

More Figure Drawing

Added india ink using calligraphy pen to a couple simple line drawings from last Monday night. Working on some colour ones, but not liking the results yet.

Figure Drawing

The model last monday night at The ARTS Project was very graceful and elegant. All poses were great. It seemed really easy to draw the movement and rhythm using flowing calligrahy lines. Some of the pencil drawings from my sketch book below. I have added India ink to some of the sketches I did on stonehenge paper and watercolour paper... still working on adding the colour and making them a more finished drawing.
