Live Reporting

  1. Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam: The blockbuster!

    Our final pose is inspired by a scene that forms part of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling within the Vatican, painted by between 1508 and 1512. It depicts the moment God gives life to humankind. You can't say we don't like a challenge!

    The Creation of Adam is one of several frescoes commissioned from Michelangelo by Pope Julius II in 1508, each depicting scenes from the Old Testament. The iconic image in which the fingers of God and Adam almost, but not quite, touch has been described as the most famous detail in Western art and is certainly one of the most replicated religious paintings of all time.

  5. Nude on the Sofa

    Model Suzon's pose is taken from Nude on the Sofa, painted in 1920 by Suzanne Valadon.

    As a young woman in Paris in the 1880s, Valadon posed for artists including Renoir and Toulouse-Lautrec. Valadon had no formal art training herself, but studied the masters at close quarters while modelling for them.

    Her style is characterised by careful observation and bold line-work. Her paintings transformed the way artists painted female nudes by providing insights into women's experiences.

  9. Meet our model: Sue Tilley

    Our model for Colour was the incredible Sue Tilley, muse of Lucian Freud. She is perhaps best known as the subject of 1995's Benefits Supervisor Sleeping.Sue was part of the 1980s London clubbing scene and was a friend of Australian performance artist and club promoter Leigh Bowery, who had posed for Freud.

    Leigh decided to put the idea into Lucian’s head to paint me - I was happy to go along with it.

  20. Nice advice from Johnny Vegas

    Every time you draw someone, and if they're willing to be nude in front of you, enjoy it....enjoy the process of trying to capture something.
