Two of the best from last night at @atynudes. Continuing to explore watercolour with the new kit in the fast poses in first half, and working with a 0.7 precision pencil in 2B for the second half. Lovely poses, full of thoughtful details.

@Culture_Crit The artist, Diego Velázquez, recognized the importance of authenticity and originality: "I would rather be an ordinary painter working from life than be the greatest copyist on earth."

Very happy to have this drawing accepted into the to @NAOA2014 2024 exhibition. Great to see everyone’s work. The exhibition is in Raquet Hall on the Eglinton Estate, 6 - 20 July.

Made it along to @ATYNudes last night. Took along the watercolours for a bit of an explore. It’s different, and changed how I drew the longer poses after the break, but I need to spend some time thinking on exactly what changed…

Made it along to @ATYNudes last night. Two great models, lots of interesting and challenging poses. Would have loved more time on all the poses. Hey ho, those hands but. #lovedrawinghands

Cracked open the A4 Canford China White today for this Trizio Coffee House cafe door composition that’s taking shape. A nice americano from Ethiopia, and 45 mins drawing on this one… #wip

Back in Trizio Coffee House today, drinking coffee and drawing the front doors. Wooden mouldings are hard to draw…

Haven’t drawn an interior for a while. Had an americano in Trizio Coffee and focused on this corner for a bit. Not sure who the crutch belongs to…

Just visited the Bruegel to Rubens exhibition at @AshmoleanMuseum and spent a little time drawing the plaster cast of the Belvedere Torso. Great to see so many different ways of using drawing, including sharing with friends.

The Flemish artist Joris Hoefnagel created this intriguing friendship sheet as a tribute for his close friend, the famous cartographer Abraham Ortelius, who is credited with compiling the first printed atlas.  Friendship sheets were gifted or exchanged among friends, often

Flemish artists of the 16th and 17th centuries embraced the challenge of drawing animals from life. This is a particularly energetic example by Joannes Fijt, one of Antwerp’s most talented animal painters, currently on display in Bruegel to Rubens: Great Flemish Drawings. Dogs

Made it along to ⁦@ATYNudes⁩ last night, Joelle was great in the first half, this was the last pose before the break, a great spinal twist.

Great last pose before the break at @ATYNudes tonight. Love drawing foreshortening. I was finding shadows interesting this evening too.

Totally agree. I have been DELIBERATELY DEFIANT, in spite of some random bloke’s advice. A full investigation MUST be mounted. #ArrestMe Also, visit Scotland, land of the free!

🎉🌼🌸April Fools! 🌸🌼🎉 Only kidding. Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren't women at all, but men, every last one of them. In passing the Scottish Hate Crime Act, Scottish lawmakers seem to have placed higher value on the feelings of men performing their

Foreshortening at @ATYNudes. Magic!

I made it along to @ATYNudes tonight. I wish I could get here more often. But it’s always grand to get some lines down with all the other sketchers in the room. This was the last 10 min pose in the first half; Crackin pose! Would have loved more time on this one. Thanks @ATYNudes

Made it along to @3townsgrowers Potato Day today, and picked up these beauties. Feels like the growing season really beginning… #kestralpotato #pentlandjavelin #pinkfirapple #sarpomira #potatoes #seedpotatoes
