Preliminary works

An update on my drawing - a preliminary sketch, for a painting I'm planning - I've several larger scales works in my mind at this moment in time, the lack of a studio space is becoming increasingly frustrating.

A small study for another planned painting which will be four figures perched on some steps, this is the uppermost one. Interestingly the original photo shows a group of about 20 men - all of whom have the most fantastic moustaches. I was lucky enough for my Grandparents to buy me a radial easel for my degree results, it came just yesterday - so I will be making up some stretchers and sizing my canvas very soon!

Unnamed woman

One of the many anonymous people who ended up indadvertedly getting caught in my lens during the airshow - I particularly enjoyed the way the light fell, with the strong shadow cast upon her neck, and the familiar trend of the subjects eyes being hidden from view - just where is she looking?

I've been turning my hand to my pencils and paper again, so expect to see another post later in the week of the progress.
