Sunday afternoon, Lorrie Minnecozzi, the local ambassador for the Portrait Society of America, opened her home to artists for a figure drawing session. David was our model for the session, dressed in Victorian garb.
The session began with a series of 2-minute gestures.
With our drawing hands warmed up, David took several 5-minute poses before starting the long seated pose.
After getting David's body and face laid in, I enjoyed the challenge of drawing in the fabric folds and buttons. Lorrie loaned me a fantastic 9XXB pencil to try, and I was impressed with the range of values it was capable of making --really juicy dark darks to delicate, light lines. I used it for my long drawing, and will look for one of my own in my next art materials purchase.
