If you're interested in art and have ever wondered "What's it all about then, eh?", then this is essential viewing.
The top link has info on the whole series (4 episodes), and the bottom link is to the playlist on Youtube.

And once you're done with that, look up Matthew Colling's other documentaries:
This is Modern Art
Impressionism, Revenge of the Nice
Matt's Old Masters
...and many more.


Trust me, it'll be time well spent.

From Session # 3_Mark Heng

55 minutes, 4b pencil

     
Ann wanted a long pose, so the second half of the session was devoted to that. 

It's interesting how long poses present their own problems!  I can definitely drive myself crazy trying to work up a degree of finish without losing sight of the big picture.  Like drawing a nice foot, then realizing it's way too big in relation to the head. 

Anyone else experience things like that?

From Summer Session #2_Mark Heng

I'm posting all the drawing from the evening just to give a flavor of the variety and number of poses.  That's a decent amount of drawing in 2 hours!
4 sessions left!  
Exercise Ball!
