New Pennsylvania state regulations on mask-wearing went into effect just as we welcomed Hector to model for our Osher Figure Drawing class. As a result, everyone in my home studio wore a mask, and my students got to draw their first masked model.
At first, it felt awkward to try to capture the shape of Hector's face and head, but soon, we realized that the mask served as a sock on a foot or a mitten on a hand to simplify a complex body feature. We incorporated the mask into our compositions, ending up with Hector as a regal knight with a sword.
I felt inspired by Hector's playful gestures with a Thanksgiving pie pumpkin, and we all wished for more time when the final beeper sounded. A delight to be swept away into drawing!
