Watching Eyes



Watching Eyes

Watching masked faces, 

seeing only staring eyes. 

wondering if the artists 

are as bored as her. 

 

“SA” was the model again yesterday afternoon in a costumed life drawing/painting session. She has been in the same pose for the last three Fridays to accommodate other doing longer paintings in oil or acrylic. I did a portrait of her in the same pose a couple of weeks ago of just her head. Yesterday I sketched more of her. 

11”x 15” ink and watercolor

Fountain Pen: Platinum Carbon fine point

  1. She really does appear bored, doesn't she!
    I wonder if it is just the lockdown...or, perhaps, some deeper sense of dissatisfaction?
    Either way, this is SO beautiful...and I love her patterned dress, it makes me feel summery!😊😊

    1. She really was bored, but mostly because she it was the last of three, three-hour sessions over three weeks she had been in the same pose.
      Thank you
