"ST" This Morning






“ST” This Morning
He played the usual role in these poses. I added the slight smile in the pose where his face actually appears. There actually wasn’t even the hint of a smile. “S” was playing the same part, being lonely and maybe in despair. It’s a common theme and what is usually asked, it seems, of the model in a typical life drawing session.
Each of these poses were twenty minutes long. Holding the standing bent over pose for so long had to be painful. I thought he was still figuring out what the pose would be, when he said that was it.
All are pastel on colored charcoal paper on sheets 18”x 24” in size

    1. I'm not sure how uncomfortable he was. he's in much better shape than I. He's into yoga and other similar forms of exercise.
      Thank you

  2. Yes, it must be really hard work having to hold those poses for so long. I, too, am grateful to him.
    I am so glad you gave him that smile. When I saw the first picture, I felt so sad for him - he looked so forlorn!
    These are wonderful Anthony.:)
