Body in Motion- wet medium time, Awww Yeaa....

New month and tackling an old medium (Ink wash and brush) with a new technique. I've done ink wash works before under Komisar (like using one light tone and dark tone wash) back in Chabot but in this class there was an extra condition: namely leaving open spaces on the body where light hits the brightest.

I'll just combine my first two weeks of handling this stuff-

If I remember correctly, she allowed us to make a preliminary sketch underneath to get the poses down.
I guess this is why these didn't turn out so bad.  

The teacher suggested using the podium shadows to  help clarify what the woman is doing,
and the shadows also give form to one of her legs.

By the new week, we were allowed to mess around with our calligraphy pens and start adding linework.

2-3m I think I was having a bad time with this guy at first, trying to leave open spaces and whatnot,
ended up going 'screw this' and doing whatever.  

Love this model alot on the short poses, this guy is FleXible-
did you see his super contraposto on the earlier pic?
