More signs of spring
The plein air painters are back in City Park again and it always makes me happy to see them. I fell in love with this style of painting when my upstairs neighbors in San Francisco were Randall Sexton and Kim Frohsin, two seriously talented painters. Steve and I were lucky enough to get on the ground floor so to speak and buy some of their paintings when they and we were young. When T and I first got together I had Kim draw some nudes of Tatjana that were fabulous and now she is offering this in her studio. Great idea – here’s what her notice said:
PRIVATE SESSIONS!
Beginning this year 2011,
I will draw you, for $350,
in my studio for a 3-hour session
( a short break every 20 min.): you must KNOW
how I draw, already: my gestures and also head studies.
We use a timer, and I begin by drawing gestures (2 minutes), then to 5’s and then 7-10 min. drawings of you , however you want to pose: with or without clothing, or in part, in my private studio in central SF.
Then, at the end of this intensive 3-hour collaboration, you will get all of the work, curated, cleaned and each drawing, signed, as a “portfolio” of yourself, of your Life & Being in that point in time!
I hope you will contact me by email or if you have questions, please just ask!
I have already had many successful sessions. Some folks choose to experience this session as a self-gift, self-challenge, for a lover or loved one, or even for commemorating a pregnancy; it’s a great intimate, creative “portrait”, BEYOND a photograph, to capture the essence of Oneself, so, let’s set a date!
I prefer drawing in the eves, 5-8PM, for this, under direct, dramatic lighting.
