We were extremely fortunate to have the artist
Lisa Schubach as our model. As an accomplished painter, Lisa's input into the clothing and set up were instrumental in creating a set-up that had clean value separation and which lent itself to solid design opportunities from all angles.
Students made up several thumbnail sketches from their easel positions, spending a lot of time on composition.
Here is one view of Lisa in her pose. You can see how simple the value patterns are.
