This is the sixth in a series of pencil studies made on Saturday mornings between 1993 and 1995 in the Main Hall at East Croydon United Reform Church with sessions run by Joel Arnstein.

This drawing features a female model called Barbara.

Beneath the main featured image I have included a two-part slide-show containing a reduced version of the main featured image side by side with a second image.

Both images were made in September 1993 and judging by the angle and stance of each, I can tell that they were sketched consecutively at the same session.

Another approach I like to to employ and find much more enterprising when lining up to tackle my subject, is to view the scene from behind someone else viewing and sketching it.

As you can see, I’ve employed that tactic here.
