After changing easel positions, most of the class dumped out on Ray, our Italian model with the extremely hard beard and jaw line to move over to a young lady that came in on the second day, so I could get closer. Total time actually spent on this sketch would have been a bit under a day. Please note a number of areas are far from done nor hardly touched. The forehead, neck, clothing, ear and background just to point out some areas.
Rob's palette is the total opposite of what I am used to working with. Very few "earth" colors, he is so into color, so this added with a ruddy, olive skin Italian model really made it a challenge.
Shown is my color sketch with the detail. I have also included a snap shot of our model Ray.
Questions or comments are really appreciated since I am considering hosting Rob for a workshop in the coming year.
