Red, white and black
Posted: April 20, 2020 Filed under: Uncategorized 8 CommentsAnna Catherine warned us advance that in her Zoom modelling session this week, she would be wearing lots of red, white and black. With that in mind, I added a squirt of black gouache to my watercolour palette.
Doing life drawing from a computer screen image is not ideal. Even with side lighting, a light skinned model against a black curtain becomes a silhouette. In this week’s session, the shorter poses were perfect for drawing these silhouettes with simple lines, but it was only when Anna moved away from the black curtain over to the red sofa that the poses became more interesting for me. With the sofa in back of her and the white sheet in front, I was finally able to feel the volume and weight of her limbs and torso.

Good Morning dear friend Shari,
Your artistic caliber is evident from the Kitten you have drawn on that pillow with it beautiful expression, not ignoring that beautiful woman with the hat.
Excellent work.
With blessings- Uma

One of my favorites. Can’t say enough about it. This is a color combination I have admired in many of the famous artists of the past as Manet. You have done a beautiful job of composition and color design as well as the model herself.. Gosh–I love this.
