Last night’s Long Term Pose at The Rivoli was quite a blast. Our model Jack turned up with her studio mates who had never modeled before and asked if Stan, Bradley and I would mind if they gave it a shot. We were thrilled with their work and under Jack’s coaching, they did a marvelous job. Thanks to Jack, Rachel and Kate for the inspiration. Here are two pastels from the session, Nupastel on Stonehenge papers.
