Recent Long Poses

The studio has a Long Pose session on the first and third Thursdays of the month.  Of course, the three-hour pose is fairly short compared to the multi-week poses in academia, but it's a little more accommodating than the 3–4 quicker poses we do on Wednesdays. It's just a great way to throw some paint down and exercise your art muscles.  I've definitely noticed improvement since we started doing these.

Here are a few of the my more recent studies, done over the last few months.  All three hours.

I decided to do a drawing on this one.  Even though Rena's red hair is great to paint, something just struck me about the values in this, with her straight, bobbed hair and dark-rimmed glasses.

Did this one yesterday evening.  Brittany came in with an awesome headwrap on, and asked if we wanted her to take it off.  When we asked what was underneath, she almost guiltily said, "a mohawk." Heck yeah, mohawk it is!

Patrice is always a great model, for any length of session.  Such a warm and genuine person.
