Studio study of live models male and female
John is one of the popular models in the San Francisco Bay Area, all the artists draw or paint him so many times. Interestingly, I missed so many times to paint him. Finally I didn't want to miss this afternoon's opportunity. It wasn't easy to start his portrait. I had a higher expectations for myself after I saw many beautiful drawings or portrait work from great artists nearby. Or maybe it was my first live model with beer or bald head. I corrected my basic drawings more than usual, each time I lightened the color, then it turned out the portrait itself looked too creamy after this one 3-hour session done, and the proportion wasn't good either. My husband said it looks fine, but please understand why I decided not to post it. In the evening we had a new good model, her poses were beautiful. And she always asked if we like her standing or sitting down. Ended up too many positions where she was standing. (February 21 2023)
