NUDE 14



12x12"
oil on canvas
$125

Another nude day. Fun, these are just plain fun. Takes me right back to life class at FIT. It was heaven—in retrospect. In the moment—it was terrifying. I was surrounded by so many gifted artists it took my breath away. Walking around and looking at everyone's work when the model took a break was both intimidating and exhilarating. I used my kneaded eraser like worry beads, pulling, stretching, wadding. We used Blaisdale charcoal pencils—extra soft, little sandpaper blocks for flattening on an angle to create a point and huge newsprint pads. What can I say. School is an experience best appreciated from a great distance. For me anyway.
