The Art Of Figure Drawing

October 14, 2013

I’m getting back to basics this month by relearning the art of figure drawing. Starting with the structural mannikin, studying the proportions of the male and female frame and working up to [...]

Sunday studio session #sneakpeek. 👀 This piece
Sunday studio session #sneakpeek. 👀 This piece seems to be taking me FOREVER to finish! The “bones” of the painting are in place, now it’s just a case of going in and fixing all the niggles, whilst trying to keep it looking fresh and spontaneous. It’s a tricky balancing act! But a fun one😀 . . . . . . #contemporarypainting #contemporaryurbanart #artistoninstagram #wheretheressmoke #lostembrace #cloudlovers #painting #art #artiststudio #workinprogress #neverfinished #artistlife #cloudlovers #colourlovers #wetpaint #studiolife

When I’m not sure what to do next, I take my pai
When I’m not sure what to do next, I take my painting into Photoshop. This allows me to play and experiment in a much more efficient way. My challenge with these new pieces is how to keep the deconstructed minimal feel, whilst getting my signature vibrancy, movement and energy into the work... I’m loving the results of this afternoons experiments... swipe right to see pre-photoshopping. What do you think? Do you like this minimal approach to the clouds or do you prefer them maximal and fluffy? Inquiring minds want to know.🧐 . . . #planningapainting #artisttools #artinprogress #contemporarypainting #deconstructedrealism #creativeprocess #behindthescenes #paintingmockup #digitalsketchbook

⭐️New work in progress⭐️. Late night wine
⭐️New work in progress⭐️. Late night wine drinking and ‘under painting’ is going well.🥂 It feels good to be starting the 4th and 5th painting in my new “Lost Embrace” collection. I often wish I could leave paintings in this unfinished, deconstructed state. But alas, I will probably come back and ruin it in the morning.😆 . . #underpainting #workinprogresss #contemporarypainting #contemporaryurbanart #behindthescenes #couldnotcarelessaboutfootball #whatfootball #artistprocess #figurativepainting #hereforthestills

I’m trying to remind myself what productive look
I’m trying to remind myself what productive looks like, as I’ve lost my mojo this week. So here’s some progress shots of the @Upfest mural collab that @mazcanarts and I painted a few weeks back. . This week has been the complete opposite of productive. So far I’ve spent HOURS repeatedly re-painting the same hand and getting it wrong every time . 🤦🏻‍♀️ I then chipped the frame on my painting just before it was due to be collected by my client, so now need to get it reframed. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤬🤦🏻‍♀️ And... well that’s it so far, let’s hope this weeks fails don’t come in threes! 🤞🏼 . I hope your week is proving more productive than mine. Ok moan over, thanks I feel better now.🙂 . Thanks to the mighty @mazcanarts for the 📸 . #artiststuggles #muralinprogress #findingmymojo #bristolstreetart #75walls75days #womenwhopaint #behindthescenes #artistlife #ukstreetart #ladderlife #contemporaryurbanart

After all the excitement of Upfest, and painting on a 8mx4m wall, It’s time to scale back down, pick up the paintbrushes and get back to work on my canvases. I love changing scale and mediums, it keeps things fresh and forces me to reassess my technique each time, it does hurt my brain a bit though.🧐🙃🥴🤯. . . And just to make things extra hard, I’m now back in my very teeny tiny home studio, so I will be mostly tripping over things and swearing a lot 😂. Happy Sunday All! . . 📸 by @simon_clemenger_photography #keepitfresh #changeitup #artistlife #backinthestudio #imissupfest #contemporaryurbanartist #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #studiosunday #artcollector #investinart #ukemergingartist #oilsandspraypaint

Big love and thanks to the tireless @upfest crew,
Big love and thanks to the tireless @upfest crew, for hosting us in Bristol over the last few days for the 75 walls/75days project. This piece is a Celebration of Sisterhood and is the first official collaboration between myself and the mighty @mazcanarts. Needless to say we had a blast!!!! And I’m really pleased it tied in so nicely with the stunning @hazard0ne piece above it. 😍 a total fluke! If you’re in Briz and want to check it out it’s opposite the Masonic Arms in #Bedminster. . Much love to the local community who cheered us on and to Bob for the cups of tea. And to @kobrapaintuk for the paint! . So grateful to @Upfest for this creative community that they champion, we met some incredible talent and reconnected with some old painting buddies. This is what it’s all about! . #Bristol and Upfest, We bloody loves you!!🥰 . . . #Bristol #bristolstreetart #ukstreetart #sisterhood #womenwhopaint #kobrapaint @kobrapaintuk #upfest #75walls75days #gettingup #colourlovers #womansupportingwomen #contemporaryurbanart

It’s a wrap! Today is the last day in my wonderful studio in the South Downs.😢 To mark to occasion I had a 📸 shoot with the awesome @simon_clemenger_photography founder of @heygirlmagazine . I’m so stoked with the images and they will be an amazing reminder of this transformative time. I can’t wait to share them with you. But for now I’m just going to leave this here. #concentrationface 😂🙈😜. . . . If you’re an artist looking to document your practice, I highly recommend booking a shoot with Simon. His friendly, natural approach, really makes you feel at ease. And he’s got some great techniques for getting you over the dreaded camera shyness.👍🏼 . . . #artiststudio #workinprogress #neverfinished #artistlife #contemporaryurbanart #contemporarypainting #cloudlovers #colourlovers #wetpaint #actionshot #itsawrap #studiolife #artphotography #artistportrait #hereforthestills

It’s a game of patience this painting lark. Slow
It’s a game of patience this painting lark. Slowly taking your own unique steps and trusting the process. And most importantly not freaking out when something doesn’t look right straight away... You can plan a painting to a point, but once you embark on the journey of putting paint on canvas, you always end up some where unexpected. This is where the magic happens.💥 . . I’ve loved having this studio space for the month, and it has taught me alot. . . And if you’re wondering how I get out to my studio, keep an eye out for my orange and black beast in the video💥👹🏍🚀! . . #artiststudio #neverstoplearning #spacetocreate #contemporarypainting #painting #artistlife #figurativepainting
