Zoom life drawing continues. I have been part of Mick Kirkbride's Insight Art zoom life drawing since it started. It is absolutely brilliant! Today Mick hung a shower curtain so we could barely see the model. Mick is an advocate of struggling with the materials. What he didn't know was that my studio was bright today and it was even harder for me to make out the model (behind an opaque/translucent curtain), projected onto the wall.
After I drew the three sketches behind the curtain, I thought how the ambiguity and blockiness of the figures recalled Bonnard. I took out a book of Bonnard paintings and opened to a page that had similar colours to what I was looking at and drew the model before me.
