- Pastel portrait of a man in sunlight.
Pastel painting 11 inches x 17 inches
Monday we had a very different type of figure drawing session. Joe and his wife Millie hosted an outdoor class at their beautiful home near Whitmore Lake. We had two very attractive models, Paul and Linda, who were willing to sit for us outside. Paul braved the direct sun, sitting on a stone stairway while half of us captured his image. I kicked into gear doing exactly the same type of pastel portrait I would have done if we were in the studio but with REAL light illuminating the model. I was happy with the outcome but wish I would have tried a full body pose, more integrated into the lovely surroundings. Oh, well, live and learn!
Afterwards we had a pizza party with home made gazpacho, cookies and ice cream. Now that's the way to celebrate a fun day of creating art!
