Method Meg’s life drawings follow the method of Cecil Collins, as taught by Meriel Gold. Collins’ method was designed to free the artist from the tight control demanded by the need to produce `results’, and also to allow the model greater freedom of expression. Both hands are used to draw simultaneously, holding different colours or instruments. No preconceived poses are set up; instead the model moves to music, and when interesting poses manifest themselves, the artist(s) request a `stop’. Such poses can generally only be held for a few minutes, though they are not necessarily `moving’ poses. To read Meg’s talk on lifedrawing, click here
