Hi Patt,
I hope your event goes well!
Just a twist on the silent auction concept...several months ago, the Titanic Exhibit came to Phoenix. As one of a very few silent auction items, I also arranged to be onsite, drawing a model from life, in an evening gown (both the model and me) who just happened to be wearing a fantastic jewel (me too). ( Any of the SOG people who have seen this movie, I am sure remember mainly the drawing scenes with the "Jewel").
It is fun to draw in an evening gown, (although I would never use ANYTHING but charcoal. ESPECIALLY if you are wearing black velvet). I repeated the event, (see image below) at a subsequent event.
Chris
There is nothing more fun than drawing from life with an audience. This image was printed in the paper the next day.
ps. If you don't have pearls, forget it.
pps. A dear friend of mine once said, "Chris, your main problem in life is figuring out how to get the Waterford into the backpack."
