Violet by Lesley Dabson

Superb drawing yes the texture is stunning and the depth of tones and the bit of extra contrast and details on the head just rounds it perfect Lesley a truly successful year so far

A really excellent life drawing Lesley.

Superb work, Lesley, and yes, the texture was one of the first things I noticed about this piece.

Really beautiful and expertly drawn Lesley.

Beautifully done lesley.

A lovely life drawing Lesley, strong lines and well observed.

Well composed and seated firmly. Well done.

Yes, I can see how the paper accentuates the tones and contours. Lovely work. Are any of your drawings going to be in the Hesketh Hubbard Art Society exhibition?

Thanks for the comments everyone :) Hi Gudrun, yes I'll have 2 drawings at the exhibition at the Mall Galleries next week, one in the browser and one hung, I think Violet might be one of them, I have to deliver them in on Friday.

Life drawing's such a good discipline isn't it Lesley. It teaches us so much and is well worth doing. I really should make more effort and find a class as I haven't done any life drawing for years. Many years if I'm honest, but the memory of what I learned stays with me. I can see that you get a lot of satisfaction from your life drawing sessions and this one is a beauty.

Hi Louise, and thank-you for your comment. I do enjoy the way a life class constantly makes you look at and assess your subject, hope you manage to find a group x
