The girl in teal shows foreshortening of most of the figure....not severely so, but enough to be challenging. The girl in red just has her left arm foreshortened but it was fairly severe. On both of these, I basically drew it as I saw it. On the girl in red, I exaggerated the hand a bit to make it appear that it was closer to the viewer...which it is by the way but I like the idea of just slightly exaggerating it. Both drawings approx 15 minutes, conte and pastel.

Laura was Batgirl, Thouroughly Modern Milley, a cat, Tinkerbell and a host of other characters to us. She has an awesome costume collection and always posed in character. She, and her costumes, will be missed and thought of often. We wish her well on her new adventures. She came tonight as herself...audiologist Laura. This was my favorite drawing of the night. 15 minutes, conte and pastel.Martin Patehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13671177179848767873noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4013037748259400089.post-71183927978141275732014-05-05T18:25:00.002-07:002014-05-05T18:25:52.027-07:00Black and White<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBg2XPLJhUoN0yQFpf-Spk-P6x7yncFIeGkMYWlQQpvNXK-WR2I09IUD-YF802thhZUdhqzYPEkq0YtzdheroUbTtPslH7OmFB0Ci8Lw2L1yM7Uuzp6jTjLqa6ZTk1Ce1tGTS5hala5g0J/s1600/MNflower.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBg2XPLJhUoN0yQFpf-Spk-P6x7yncFIeGkMYWlQQpvNXK-WR2I09IUD-YF802thhZUdhqzYPEkq0YtzdheroUbTtPslH7OmFB0Ci8Lw2L1yM7Uuzp6jTjLqa6ZTk1Ce1tGTS5hala5g0J/s320/MNflower.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAkBN2GpENOD14es7oLdQrS98BsbiPDhLhvZVYZIyl26MJvvaFsj1t8sw4mzLbzw-JkrB6Ej6crghTucMmRJXGf9wXEyB7EGGS3yV5PC8T9Y8ID9SSHPqjEmqbnAALEsmDwfIktwAh60gX/s1600/MNgray.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAkBN2GpENOD14es7oLdQrS98BsbiPDhLhvZVYZIyl26MJvvaFsj1t8sw4mzLbzw-JkrB6Ej6crghTucMmRJXGf9wXEyB7EGGS3yV5PC8T9Y8ID9SSHPqjEmqbnAALEsmDwfIktwAh60gX/s320/MNgray.jpg" /></a>...........My last post was model Meaghan N in a black tutu...tonight she posed in white. Both are around 15 minutes, conte and pastel. I had the opportunity to move on the top one with the severe foreshortening but I always tell students to avoid moving away from difficult angles. I'm glad I stayed with this one...might turn it into a painting one day. The second drawing is the first of more to come where I'm getting back into drawing on toned paper. There was a type of paper I used in art school that I really liked but have not been able to find it since then. This paper is similar in color but different in texture...still, I like it and plan to do more.Martin Patehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13671177179848767873noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4013037748259400089.post-4002083012757925692014-04-22T18:16:00.001-07:002014-04-22T18:16:44.735-07:00Black Tutu<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj63IHjW2Uuv4lh1tmOSi_86Foe_QuC-Fw2aklITBerhQtfSyybLids7elCxAmvRU2v0SnboFIBiil6QQHt9-Gc72XEjZfn6RMoeKR0_WzFy0OwWB5PuKQ3mWuup3i5V76ZY_W4NvWPt_B/s1600/MN.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj63IHjW2Uuv4lh1tmOSi_86Foe_QuC-Fw2aklITBerhQtfSyybLids7elCxAmvRU2v0SnboFIBiil6QQHt9-Gc72XEjZfn6RMoeKR0_WzFy0OwWB5PuKQ3mWuup3i5V76ZY_W4NvWPt_B/s320/MN.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhth5U550GJGZWy51240gDg67RSjOs0IYIfAl2STrgMItTpmi6bZpE68Aqme7mwQKgXkTJQf6Z2BboM6lfsUcSB63QuLMtttYqD57DA0CuoAcquenu5NPtwntN9uZzgH0GWjDV3q6HxwlFh/s1600/MN2.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhth5U550GJGZWy51240gDg67RSjOs0IYIfAl2STrgMItTpmi6bZpE68Aqme7mwQKgXkTJQf6Z2BboM6lfsUcSB63QuLMtttYqD57DA0CuoAcquenu5NPtwntN9uZzgH0GWjDV3q6HxwlFh/s320/MN2.jpg" /></a>.........Drawings of Meaghan N from Monday's class.

Three models from the local high school play, Les Miz, posed for us. We did 17 minute poses, 2 per model. The models are young, 4-6 graders and play kids in the play. They were great. It's good practice to draw the proportions of children from time to time.

Love the colors and border details.

Opening is December 6, 6:30pm. The show, RED, will consist of large works and small, old works and new, mostly new, and works with a wide range of prices. $100 up to $4200. Drawings and paintings alike will feature the color red as the main focus or an essential accent. While planning this show and a theme, I realized that I tend to use red a good bit, either as a major statement or as a way to bring your attention to something in the painting. The painting shown, "Cardinal, Red" is one of the smaller works, just 8"x8". Other small works include still life and landscapes. A series of 9 apples, each an 8"x8" will be available either as a group or individually. The show will include several major works that have been done specifically for this show.Martin Patehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13671177179848767873noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4013037748259400089.post-78292645336226463482013-11-18T18:28:00.001-08:002013-11-18T18:28:36.926-08:00Quick Draw<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlX8VLa-EAH2PdfjkTQkcbQizDNe6cIrZc7weyKJPsIo3CgROBdDQSf3HufEZ1U5FxJNbwEhROY5IJ1GjsLWPDJM_hMEg1zMNQFlsjolqxMQi9ciFowy-mA-DUGER3l-SixCg16nSB3Gp_/s1600/APdraw.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlX8VLa-EAH2PdfjkTQkcbQizDNe6cIrZc7weyKJPsIo3CgROBdDQSf3HufEZ1U5FxJNbwEhROY5IJ1GjsLWPDJM_hMEg1zMNQFlsjolqxMQi9ciFowy-mA-DUGER3l-SixCg16nSB3Gp_/s320/APdraw.jpg" /></a>..............This was a very quick, 10 minute drawing from tonight's class. Alex P model. I think if I'd had time to do the entire pose, it may not have been as nice. Conte and and a hint of pastel.
