Xavier

Xavier posed for our painting group in one evening. The character of the sitter, the tattoo on his arm, the black and white stripes on the T-shirt and the still life on the table made it interesting to paint. This was done on a 18" x 24" canvas with acrylic.   Philip Ng

A Suprisingly Good Replacement Model

Xavier                                         oil on canvas    18 by 24

The Guild model was a no-show, but we did really well with a replacement this evening. Xavier who was working in the back of the studio was more than willing to fill. Having worked as a mime in Mexico City, he know how to strike an interesting pose and hold it. His face showed a lot of character for someone so young. He removed his plain black sweatshirt when he posed, revealing a striped t-shirt which was also cool to paint.  Iris Sabre
