With Bones




With Bones

Had a couple of sessions with “GR” today, sketching from his various poses. It’s good to be drawing from a model again. It’s been a while.
This pose had him with bones in each hand. I’m not sure why. We searched the studio for a human skull and ended up settling for a less interesting skull of a deer that has had better days.
His other hand held a thick leg bone. I don’t think it was human either. 
9”x 12” fountain pen, oils sanguine and chalk on toned paper.

  1. Bonjour cher Anthony,

    La manière que votre modèle se campe est intéressante. Je l'imagine cependant davantage avec des poissons en main plutôt que des ossements !... Mais bon !...
    Votre travail est toujours aussi talentueux... Je me suis autorisée un petit retour en arrière étant donné que j'ai pris beaucoup de retard ces derniers temps et j'avais manqué tant de belles oeuvres.

    Gros bisous ♡

    1. “GR” works hard at coming up with new poses. I draw him often enough to make this a challenge.
      Thank you for your review of my past posts, and the kisses, of course☺

  2. For me, he is a Medicine Man...such an imposing figure, with those bones and their healing magic...:)

    1. He was definitely attempting to heal some one, probably us drawing him☺ “GR” does have a powerful presence in most of his poses
      Thank you

    1. I wish we had found a human skull. He would have been even more imposing.. I know there’s one in the studio somewhere. We just couldn’t find it.
      Thank you
      Yes I’m back, sort of. Other projects are taking up more of my time. Except for now scheduled modeling sessions, I’m a little behind on the daily sketches and paintings to post.

    1. He does a lot of modeling around town, for the local universities, community colleges and art centers. He’s performs opera too I am told.
