On Day Two of my recent figure workshop, we were fortunate enough to have a live model. The young lady, who was a high school student was very striking with strong classical facial features. The instructor "dressed her up" by draping a warm red swatch of fabric over her lap as a skirt. She also found a widebrimmed straw hat which she positioned forward enough to cast a sharp dark shadow over the model's eyes, accentuating her classic profile.

We developed some thumbnail sketches, connecting the darks so that these accents would combine in a strong compositional design. After the charcoal sketch we repeated the composition in black, gray and white. Finally we painting the composition in color.
