Artist
Our model was an older lady with short hair at the Art Students League short poses tonight. Still experimenting with wet media for the 5 and 10 minute poses, needs more practice. The last drawing on the page was an attempt at an extreme caricature with the remaining 8 minute pose of the day.
Had a great night drawing Finn Lozada for the first time at the Montclair Figure Drawing Group meeting hosted by Kathryn McGuire.
Our model, Tina Rose at the Montclair Art Museum who is a seamstress made her own costumes, and she ended the night in a mermaid outfit.
Another great model at the Art Students League. Worked on doing some water-color sketches for this session and got some great drawings out of this too.
Short pose night at the Art Students League, haven’t had a male model in a while. This guy was great, very wiry older gent who looked like “ecorché man” from my art academy days. He very much felt like a living embodiment of an Egon Schiele painting the whole time. Started trying to sketch with watercolors, needs work…
Tried my hand at watercolors at the Art Students League short pose session, I’ve seen a bunch of people working with wet media, and it looked too intriguing to let go. I can’t say I’m super please with the results though, I’m going to need to work on that….
(I also ran out of paper and had to do two of my drawings in my sketchbook towards the end)
Open Sketch at the Montclair Art Museum. Another terrific new model, Tina Rose with dreadlocks at the Montclair Art Museum’s First Free Thursday of March.
Art Students League. Another great model, female black dancer who did some amazing poses, I’m just not quick enough to capture them for the 1 and 2 minute poses. But she did do this amazing twenty minute pose upside down, always grateful to models who take their job seriously.
Art Students League, short pose session. I liked the colors and tones I got for the large portrait today.
Happy Valentine’s Day! Our model at the Art Students League today was a super thin, fit, black lady with a great big, green dookie holding her hair.
