Second day of class...

 

 

 

Still modeling!

 

Nothing too adventurous in the "glamorous" world of figure modeling. Things are slow and steady. Although I did have some excitement as I grabbed my clothes and dressed "on the run" for a fire drill at a college class!!

 

 

Here is a double me - checking myself out, I see!!

and a sketch from an art club.

 

 

 

A bunch of stuff

Since the modelcoast site is down, here are a few other  pieces....

Summer 2011

Just a few new drawings from studio work

Friday the 13th and I started at a new art center. Well, new for me! A fun gig. There were about 14 artists in a workshop setting. These are people that have a handle on what they are doing, so the finished projects were further along than most I see from beginning art classes. Graciously, a number of them let me take snap shots of their work, and two handed me their original works! I am very happy to give them a good home.

The session was a regular 3 hour session. It is ungodly hot and humid right now, but because the room was air conditioned, the monitor offered to turn on a heater. I wisely declined! There were 3 three minute poses as a warm up, followed by 2 long poses.

Now, I am not a person who normally sweats up a storm, but because you could cut the humidity with a knife,I did develop a "glow" I had a tad of a problem with the first long pose. My  left hand was holding my leg, and as I becamed drenched with"the atmosphere" , it kept sliding. Really it felt as though I had been greased up! It was a battle to keep the pose....but I prevailed.
The second pose was a much easier seated pose, on a stool. The time seemed to fly by on that one even though it was a longer pose.

Not only did I recieve some art, and a number of reccomendations to other classes, the artists chip in a little each to pay above and beyond what the center pays. So, a check....and cash.
