5 Nudes: Olja 2
Five more life drawings of one model
I’ve drawn the Polish model Olja many times and been inspired all of those times by her professionalism, litheness and imagination. Not to mention her hair, which is worth the entrance fee on its own. I have already written about her, but I have so very many of drawings of her that I felt it was worth repeating the exercise.
This new set comes from 2020–21, Olja’s golden year of online posing, when lockdowns were still curtailing her acting career. She resumed that career in time but is now posing part-time again in self-run sessions from her home in Belgium.
I have chosen them for variety of media, because they are interesting poses, or because there is something I see in each, that I aspire to capture again when I draw. It could be a flicked line, a strong curve, or a nice combination of colours, but when I see it, I know that on that day, for that drawing at least, I was on form.
You can see the original five drawings by clicking the link above. Here are a new set of the wonderful Olja that I felt were worth a look.
