The model as a model

Portrait of the model as...

A while ago, at a life drawing session, I started seeing the model as an abstract. Subsequently, at different sessions, I'd occasionally sketch one of these variations on a common theme.

The model as a coastal mountain range

I originally posted this as a straight watercolor on 4 November titled uplifting. Yesterday I happened to look at it sideways and decided with some modification she could join my The model as a 'scape set. So! what started out as a watercolor is now mixed mediums; watercolor and soft pastels. On Canson's 140 pound cold pressed paper, 9 by 12 inches.

The model as a tree

As noted before; I've started playing, at recent life drawing sessions, with the idea of painting the model as a landscape, seascape ,or whatever 'scape. Hence this sketch in this set. Watercolor (Creatacolor Bricks) on Strathmore's Bristol vellum, 11 by 14 inches
