Life drawing w Elly

The weather on Sunday was strange; just as we got ready to go to the beach the sun went behind a cloud and it got cold. So instead we went for pho and I went life drawing.



Elly our ex dancer is very graceful. I like drawing her as she looks good despite the fact that she is middle aged. The muscle tone still going strong - quite an inspiration.



I tried to use pastels in a painterly fashion for this pose. I like the way the colours are muted.


Life drawing is quite refreshing- especially when done occasionally. I left feeling like I'd exercised my artistic 'muscles' - a bit like the high one gets after exercise.
