During last year's sojourn in Cyprus we had a series of life-drawing sessions on the Saturday afternoons. For three of theses sessions we had the model in the same pose: taken from Euan Uglow's "Point Five Nude". I have an image in the Abbott Hall catalogue but am unable to reproduce it here because its too big to fit in the scanner.
However, this image is a three layer work. First it was painted as a watercolour on a piece of paper 60 cms long. The following two weeks of two hours each had me doing a finished drawing over the painted image.
Close examination will reveal that the original painting is on a different scale to the overlying drawing. This was deliberate as I wanted a certain random factor in the work. The drawing itself was executed in the same way as Euan Uglow did; precise measurement and point marking. Key reference points remained obvious. As is usual for me, the drawing was done using soft graphite.
