Beautiful Eyes, Looking at Features






We couldn't have had a better model today, especially with today's lesson about the eyes. Grace, who drew with us last session was wonderful! And, she gets the Stone-Statue Award. We first talked about our homework, thumbnail sketches of various portrait paintings, leading into the idea of starting a portrait with a quick thumbnail to help with the composition. We felt our own eye anatomy and looked at our neighbors eyes as well. We talked about the eye socket, the lids, shadowing on the eyeball, the shape of the iris, and where the highlights are. Today's work was very good from everybody.
