To try and get more value out of the time devoted to “keeping my hand in” and “lifting my game” working from a diet of repetitive, theatrical and frankly improbable poses that seem to dominate life classes, I started to create groupings of smaller images so that I could study (1) composition of interacting groups (2 ) the 3 dimensional depth that required (3) scale, relative to each other, (4) use of overlaps and (5) recession. This also reduced the volume of paper I had to store.

The works I have selected illustrate those groupings, plus a few that are representative of life drawings that are, in a sense, a “finished work” in this oeuvre, just working with simple outlines.
