This lovely model was such fun to study in her antique costume and hairstyle.
Even the simple warm-up sketch ("Shift", at left) has interesting line and pose.
These were some more of the studies I did this winter on my trip at open studio sessions. Looking at them now, weeks after I drew them, I see this young lady moving from pose to pose in an intriguing dance. The connection of drawing or painting from life builds a strong artistic bond with the subject, whether it is a still life, a landscape, portrait or figurative study.

Your model is absolutely beautiful, Diana and you painted her so perfectly...I love the antique feel to her especially in the last drawing. Wonderful work!
I appreciate that, Hilda. Thanks so much for stopping by.
I do a bunch of painting the model from life at open studios, and I agree about that bond. Sometimes it becomes quite like a collaboration between model and artist.
Your sketches do create a sort of dance.
I sure do miss those sessions with the model when I'm away from them. That collaboration you mention is something that is not always easily explained. The Muse.
