5 Nudes: A Few More Profiles
Five more life drawings from the edge
This is my third collection of profiles, a viewpoint I never seem to tire of taking. I am always comfortable on the edge of the circle of artists in the life drawing room, with no one to one or other side of me so I can easily move around if the fancy takes me. Due to this favoured position I tend to get a lot of profiles as the models naturally face the majority of the group in front of them. I feel that a profile gives a less confrontational aspect to the drawing and challenges the viewer less, meaning that they become more of a voyeur with the sitter in relative ignorance of their observation.
This particular selection ranges from a live session in 2019, via some online sessions to the most recent from a live group just a couple of weeks ago. There are quick sketches and more considered drawings, and the subjects include middle aged and younger women, and younger and older males. One thing is for certain, the viewpoint may remain the same but the variety of models is infinitely varied.
