Last night with my art group -- what a pleasure

A good friend in my art group reassured me that the night
was on.  I was so happy.  I packed up and went out for
the planned hour.  That was all I had.

The model, Alyson, was wonderful -- so much mood
emoted from her, which for me in a fast situation seems
to be the magic.  She had it.   Plus I had fun with the
group listening to good music and seeing people's
work.

Here is the result.  I think if I'd had longer, she might
have resembled a long ago queen.  She had the
dignity and composure I'd associate with such a
character.  Royal.

Have a painting with your friends day.

  1. Hi Barbara, beautiful sketch, she does have an amazing quality. What’s equally amazing is that you were able to capture it in such a short amount of time! Brilliant! Love it!!!!

  2. Thank you Marcia,

    Yes she did have a wonderful quality. It seems when I go to draw with the group
    everything matters. The model, the people, my own attitude. I try to be
    quick in figuring out what I'm doing, knowing that Steven is picking me up
    in an hour -- and sometimes everything comes together like it did on this night.

    You know I love your work.

    XOXOXOXOXOXO Barbara
