"Skye" the art model was athletic as I have said and she could take action poses. This one comes from the segment of the life drawing session where the model posed for thirty seconds to a few minutes. Fast drawing was exciting because you only got one chance to draw something decent. This is the best of a number of my attempts in the short pose format, featuring a twist of arm and back.
Life drawing was always fun. The Boston University art school, which I regard as the best art school in Beantown, had a strong emphasis on life drawing, both nudes and portraits. It was said that at the B.U. art school, there was a butt behind every studio door.
