A Naked Life

A NAKED MAN AT BILDERBERG?

Hmmm… What do you think? Perhaps not appropriate? Necessary? But, you know, I’m...

These were from a lovely session at Cathays Community Centre on Monday just gone - I happened to have a very tired pooch with me and so we had a go at creating some poses in the style of Lucian Freud, you know, the man with lurcher stuff… 

I've added a rather gorgeous photo of 'Rowan' too.

PAYING FOR MODELS TIME

I thought I’d repost this from the Cardiff Life Model Collective facebook page, just to make...

These sketches are from this weeks Wednesday Session at The Post Port Office in Newport. We ran with two models and two longer poses, so one reclining nude after another…

This is fast becoming our favourite venue. The people who populate the Post Port Office are just so lovely :) But we do need more of you to come along to these life drawing opportunities as we are running them at a loss We need just a couple more people each week and we have enough money to cover the models fee, that's all we're after… 

So, if you're near or in Newport or know of someone who is just a tad arty, do come or get them to come along. 

After each life drawing session there is a free film screening. It's loosely tied into art, so past films have been Caravaggio, The Draughtsman's Contract, The Rebel… 

And… I met at yesterdays Post Port Office session someone who worked on the animated Captain Scarlet series. Little screened, perhaps due to confusion as to the age group it best suited, I think it remains an honest update and truly remarkable demonstration of perfection in animation. You really ought to check it out if you get the chance (ask me and I might let you borrow my dvd)…

And finally, the models posed seperately and the female did not (as it so appears in the final sketch) have her hand inserted into the backside of the male :)

On Tuesday night Cardiff Life Model Collective ran one of our popular Graphic Novel Masterclass sessions. This was tutored by the amazing Dylan Teague and held at that oh so friendly bar 10 Feet Tall. I missed this but looking at the work sent in I should have cancelled all other appointments that day and made every effort to attend. 

Unfortunately I was stuck on a late finishing Essential Food Hygiene course and then had to run someone home… 

At least now I won't be poisoning myself and I will be encouraged to twist Dylan's arm and get another Graphic Novel Masterclass session booked in ASAP.

Images from Mondays charity evening at Cathays Community Centre. This was developed as a session for the male model to use as a fundraising tool, and didn't he do well… £350 for Velindre Hospital. He had the first hour and then one of Cardiff Life Model Collectives female models ran the second hour. 

All of the money collected from participating artists was given to Velindre Hospital, the model group digging deep and funding the room hire and female model fee. 

If you want to make use of us in any way, so fundraising, promotion or publicity, please do get in touch :)

The first image is a rather excellent finished piece by Sarah Hart. The exercise was set in Uni (The University of Glamorgan now The University of South Wales) and preparatory sketches and paintings were made over three days of modelling. The model is me, the skull is from something dead and rather large…
The three sketches are from last Tuesdays session at 10 Feet Tall - the model was tasked with acting out her representations of the 'emotion words' given to her by the assembled artists. This is one piece of feedback form that evening… 'Excellent session tonight at 10 Feet Tall. Thank you to our model for some great expressive poses.'

From last night at 10 Feet Tall in Cardiff. 

Becky tutored a session called 'Back to Basics of Lifedrawing', a session aimed at beginners but a good chance for a refresher for those more seasoned artists. 

Some good work from the final pose I think.

Next week at 10 Feet Tall we are tasking the model to act out emotions…
