London Life Drawing Summer School

These past 3 days I attended a life drawing summer school, run by London Drawing. I'd never done any life drawing before going to their open classes and found that they were really useful so I decided to do their summer school.

I find it much easier to draw/paint from photos than drawing from real life and doing this summer school has helped me improve massively. I've noticed that I've got better at judging proportions when drawing from real life. We experimented with different mediums and different coloured paper, experimenting with ways to use colour. Also, it was my first time working with oil paints so it was good to try something new.

Here are a few photos of my work from the 3 days. each of the pieces below were quick drawings done in 10-20 mintues.
