Life Drawing and Painting

This is a central part of my practice: apart from some of my plein air landscapes, many of my paintings are completed from sketches and photographs, rather than from life.  So the experience I gain from looking and mark-making on the spot as it were helps to keep the dimensional reality of the paintings, that working purely from photos can tend to flatten.
