Oh my goodness, the model we had at the drop-in drawing session today was goooooood! I have never seen gestures like that and unfortunately I have nothing even remotely worthy to show you for her efforts! She was so strong and beautiful and graceful. Really amazing. I'm sure I couldn't hold some of her 2 minute poses for ten seconds! And this was the first time I've seen a model actually break out in a sweat. She really gave herself a work-out, and I am sure she was glad to get to the slightly less physical longer poses...

... except for this next one- that knee had to have been sore by seven minutes in!

I love the curves and angles on this last one. It took me a few attempts to find my way... one tricky part was the left thigh which hardly showed except for a small triangle shape. And her head looks oddly tilted here, but it was held up by her hand at an angle... and I ran out of paper so I couldn't properly describe what was going on.
I am so looking forward to this week! I plan to paint, paint, paint! The only other thing on the calendar is to help out with my son's Grade Two class field trip... to the Mendel Art Gallery, so even that will be about art!
I hope you have a wonderful, creative week ahead of you!

great interesting angles! Is this an open class? I would love to come draw. I had a pregnant friend who used to pose- wouldn't that be cool!? : )

Hi Monika...
thanks - yes, it is an open class. It's a drop-in live model session from 1:30-1:30 every Saturday. I usually stay for 2 hours... most people give $10.00 I think. Have your people call my people!
:)
