Derron Thweatt sits for a portrait

Eight drawings done this week end during the Life Drawing on Zoom session with Derron Thweatt modeling for the artsaveslives Group. Derron is always a compelling model and today we had the honor to do portraits of him for the last hour of the session. As always, thanks to Thomasina DeMaio for arranging it all, to Tom Schmidt for keeping time today and to Alan Beckstead & Margaret Stroud for keeping it yesterday, and above all to Derron for allowing us the pleasure of seeing him.

Derron Thweatt at the End of February

 

At the end of last month I made these watercolor & pencil drawings of Derron Thweatt during the two sessions he posed for the artsaveslives Group organized by Thomasina DeMaio. I believe I'm beginning to achieve the quality of likeness I have hoped for when drawing him. Thanks.

 

These four drawings immediately above are from 4 minute poses that we did to warm up at the start of the sessions, two sheets from each day, three poses per page.
