Rucsy

While I've been out here in Mallorca I've got to know 3 Rumanian girls who are all beautiful, interesting and intelligent as well as speaking near perfect English. Maybe I should move there.
Anyway, this is Rucsy who agreed to model for me yesterday. As I hope you can tell she is very striking with a mass of blonde curls and is a very spiritual girl who wanted to be drawn holding a fairy.
So who was I to refuse? Fairy 'nuff! (Sorry!) She didn't want paying for our session so I'm giving her all the drawings instead. Who knows, one day they might be worth not very much at all!

Alma

My friend Daniel out here in Palma met a beautiful girl called Alma who had seen some of my life drawings (thanks to Dan) and wanted me to draw her to boost her self confidence after a bad love affair had messed her up. So a few days ago she borrowed a beautiful Spanish apartment and after a couple of glasses of wine to clam our nerves (Hey! I get nervous too!) we had a lovely relaxed drawing session. As well as being stunningly beautiful Alma does a lot of yoga and took to modelling very easily. I'd be begging her to be my regular muse if she hadn't gone back to northern Spain for a month. The Gods always have the last laugh! Here are the results.

Independence Day 2

In my regular spot in SFX magazine I am called upon to visualise films that are in development or even just being planned. That means that sometimes I have very little to go on beyond the title. Sometimes we don't know who will be starring in it, directing it or what it will be about. In the current issue of SFX the film in question is a sequel to the wonderful big budget B movie Independence Day and the only info they had was that Will Smith isn't going to be in it. Here's how it turned out. I had fun drawing the alien and all it's tentacles. FZZZZZZAP!!!

Jasmine and Michaela

This week on two consecutive nights I was lucky enough to draw two models who were new to me and they were both fabulous. On the Monday night at Kate Shields' private session in her lovely flat overlooking Brighton sea front our model was the truly beautiful Jasmine whom Kate had met at Glastonbury. A small group of artists attempted to capture her loveliness on paper.
On the following night at the SCAC session we had another new model Michaela who was also
fantastic to draw as I hope you'll see from my scribblings. I'm off back to Palma next week where I have yet to find a drawing session so it was great to draw these two wonderful models before I go.

Zoe

Zoe was our model on Tuesday night at Bill's life drawing session at the SCAC. She's slim and tanned and very goo

d to draw. That night she had a feather in her hair giving her a Native American Indian Squaw look which appealed to me greatly being a bit of a fan of all things Wild West.

2 Lauras

This week I drew 2 different Lauras on 2 consecutive nights.
On Monday at The Farm Tavern a small class of drawers (just me and the organiser) attempted to capture the fabulous Finn- Big Laura and on the Tuesday night at SCAC a full studio tried to capture the long limbed loveliness of Slim Laura.
Here are my best ones.

3 Models

I've managed to fit in three life drawings sessions since I got back from Majorca, two at SCAC on Tuesday nights and one on Sunday afternoon at Jake's studio in New England House. Here's a compilation of the best scribblings. The excellent models were Laura, Lucy and Chiara. I need to fit a few more in before returning to paradise island where I can find no classes. Alas!
