Something different for a change! Was invited by a colleague, to work from the model at The International Art Club of The Hague. In these extremely cold days, it was an oppurtunity I couldn't resist. Working from a life model has same qualities as working on location at a seascape or whatever. The poses are restricted to a certain time frame. The two standing sketches were done in 5 minutes, the sitting pose, somewhat longer. This insures freshness and evidence of the creative process in execution. In such a drawing session of approximately 2 hours, of course more works are made. However what is worth publishing is another matter. Over the years I have worked extensively with life models, thus if this genre work speaks to you, don't hesitate to get in touch.
