Week Five..... the Nose





Today we talked about the five basic areas of the nose, the keystone at the bridge, the top, the sides and the underside. We noted that a nose is not straight, but follows the bone and 2 cartilage areas. We talked about the shape of the nostrals and how they change depending on the forward and back angle of the head.
Everyone is interested in continuing our class in March, we are thinking about working with paint, simple value paintings to begin with. More to come as that developes.
All of our class poses are fairly quick, 5 to 8 minetes, no one gets to finish their drawings. I like everyone to set up over and over and over again, that is how we learn. In our painting class we will have one long pose, 2 and 1/2 hours, with breaks of course for the model.
