Pensive 20x15" charcoal on Rives
I went to the Randy Higbee Gallery today and was able to do a drawing of the lovely model,
Toni Czechorosky. I need to tweak a few values here and there, but I am actually quite pleased with this results, since I have only been working seriously on figure drawing for the past year.
Drawing or painting a model can be challenging. Each time the model takes a break, the placement of an arm, twist of the back, angle of the face, drape of the fabric, can be slightly different. It takes a patient model to work with all the artists, to find a compromise that is satisfactory to all.
Toni, told a story about how she was given this vintage outfit from her aunt's estate. The cutout lace trim on the silk jacket was beautiful. The cut of the silk shorts was also unique. I wanted to study them closer, but I decided that was far too personal. Vintage clothing was crafted with great care. That is why it is still wearable today.

Robin, this is absolutely gorgeous! You managed to convey the vintage quality of the clothing w/o distract ing from the model's face and her expression. She looks almost wistful, suggesting a feeling of nostalgia which goes perfectly with the clothing of a bygone era. Love that string of pearls, too! Bravo, GF!
