green man

My friend Gina and I watched the London Drawing Group video about the green man. 
II wish I had done a little preparation before class, observed some different shaped leaves and such. But I didn't and so I started just sketching some possibilities, above.
Then we worked on these paintings; I still have some work to do on these. 
Was thinking a green man painting might make a good holiday card ...
Then we finished up with some 1 to 2 minute blind contour drawings of different sculptures of the green man to use as a jumping off point for further paintings. 
As usual the contour drawings are my favorites.

What a lovely theme to work with! So many possibilities.

Yes! It was fun and after the class I fully intended to do some more research on the green man ... Maybe next week! But there are so many different directions you could take this in. The London drawing group classes are always fun, often take me in the direction I wouldn't have gone on my own.
