Drawing in Progress

Jimmy is our model for the Satureday Portrait Class that I teach at the GCA. A special thank you to Colleen, our model coordinator, for finding us a Roman God with a heart of gold. Who knew they walk amongst us these days. The pose is so stunning and his expression is so intense that I simply had to postpone my current projects and draw along with my students for this 8 session pose.

I have wanted to do a painting of the warrior Jason for a long time. Jimmy looks so much like the part, I am using this pose in a narrative piece as well; a painting about Jason, Medea and the golden fleece, pics to come soon.

The pictures thus far were taken day one, day three and day five.A long way to go yet, but a very fun project! Enjoy
