Life Drawing

I really enjoyed the life drawing experience today. Although I was feeling quite poorly
due to recovering from glandular fever. In a way, the lack of being able to be controlled really forced me to be dynamic with the lines. Although one of the feet on the last piece was dodgy :p

I compared this lecture with last lecture and the improvement between the two is vast. I have definately become more willing to be free with my lines in this project. When I first arrived I was a very tentative and detailed worker, I have learnt that I can do much more with a painting if I stop being afraid of it.

When I paint for pleasure, which I do very often, I still do many controlled pieces, but I am now not afraid to try new things and not worry if they are awful. I learn alot from my mistakes now, and my work has improved a great deal in my mind. I feel like the freedom has inspired me to be much more creative and I find myself constantly thinking of new things to do and looking at every object in a new light!

The work that i would not have been sure about before because of it's "technical" ability I am proud to like now, often more than a very acurate piece. It has made me want to discover new techniques and really discover my own style.
