Art Model with Stick 1975


Here we are back in 1975 with another art model session. She's holding a nicely shaped piece of driftwood. Models often posed with simple props like pieces of fabric, or fruit, ceramics, or sticks. You can see where her hands and feet were but I didn't have time to draw them. I have dozens of "Art Model Photographs" books designed not for gawkers but for artists who want to draw figures but have no access to nude models. I wonder whether you could tell the difference if I used one of these photos instead of a live one.

Pencil on sketchbook page, about 8" x 10", 1975.
