Life Drawing and Painting home study course gallery – No. 8

Assignment: Umbrella Day

Our theme this week was a series of nude models posing with an umbrella.

An umbrella brings something interesting and unique when seen next to a nude figure – whether open or closed, its shape varies differently from the human figure and provides an interesting contrast to explore – in some instances the umbrella can be simplified into a simple shape or hybrid shape, whilst in other poses / positions, it can suddenly appear complex.  The umbrella’s size / proportion / scale as well as the pose and position of the umbrella are other considerations.

Here is some of the work made by artists taking part in the session.

Look out for another gallery of work coming soon…
