Going through the archives brings up all kinds of things I’ve forgotten I had done. This is one of the earliest portrait drawings I did in my first art class. Here is the model in the portrait drawing studio in a side lying pose. Considering all the possible poses a model could choose to hold over the course of three hours, this would be the top choice. Of course, it’s not really up to the model to choose so I think they secretly hope for the art instructor to go easy on them each time. Once I served as a model for a portrait painting class and that was it for me! Not as easy as it looks by any means! And it was really amusing to see what the art students’ finished paintings of me looked like. I didn’t realize I was a native Hawaiian! 😉
