Evening Out

Evening Out

The long pose. Spent the evening yesterday in a session sketching “AU” for the first time. Enjoyed..

A Touch or Two

A Touch or Two

A conversation plays

in the still silence

of a long morning,

by an allusive

touch or two,

hidden by

a veiled vision,

planned to

appease.

“SA” settled into this pose for the long pose in the session I attended over the weekend. An okay pose with all the same challenges, I suppose. Not sure why it bothered me. Hopefully it made the last hour of the session less boring for her. I used to enjoy sketching poses with the model pretending to be reading a book. Maybe in my head I saw more of a story to express.

Another preliminary searching sketch of an invented place, as it might look, back in the forties.

Music and Flowers, Twice

Music and Flowers, Twice

With flowers in her hair

and music and more.

An anticipated

beautiful performance,

played out twice.

In a session last Friday afternoon “D” provided this wonderful pose. I ended up sketching her twice, not getting her all on the page the first time. The second attempt was hurried quite a bit. She aged and the background changed before my eyes, in the attempt.

This morning “R” posed for the Independent Painters session looking awfully grim. Fortunately it was his look only during the pose.
