The impact of looking at artists' work while drawing

Zoom life drawing classes are more than a novelty now.  On a good week I ‘attend’ three.  Mick Kirkbride structures the classes so that we have a mix of short poses and longer poses and he always shows us the work of one or two artists to frame the way we might choose to look at the poses and respond to them.  






The three classes are equivalent, same resources but different models. Last night I think the model’s name was Eleanor. We began with two three minute poses followed by a five minute poses and two longer poses, I think they were 40 and 30 minutes. After the quick poses we looked at Bernard Dunstan, RA and NEAC https://chrisbeetles.com/artist/619
