One of the benefits of living with a model is getting to draw him while he works. During a recent college class Zoom session, David held one long pose for an hour and a half. Once I got the camera and lights set, I got to draw right along with the students. But one key difference: I peered around the camera and computer set up and drew David from life. Lovely to get to do that again!
What discipline that pose must have taken to hold, and what a lovely result. You peeking from behind-the-scenes studio setup was a treat, resonating strongly with me having attended in-person drawing workshops, and adjusting to quarantine times.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, it takes discipline and strength on the model's part. For the artists drawing, time flies.
DeleteI look forward to going back to in-person sessions when it's safe. Nothing like being in the studio and creating together!
This sounds like a good gig....
