Over the years my Sundays have taken me to model sketching sessions, shared with fellow artists. While there is an almost earth shattering silence in the room, loaded with concentration, these mornings are always such great fun. Of course, there is inspirational music playing in the background. Every person has their own unique style and personality, be it as a model, or as an artist.
I recently went from colorful chalks back to charcoal and graphite. What a fantastic medium that is. It allows for very subtle gradations, strong lines, dark thunderous areas and then the light, the shimmer of a sun beam shining through. Our faces have all that: tenderness, expression, strength, light.
