Ok, No banana pics ….. today. I am all up in my nostalgic feels from college remember the FIRST day of my first figure drawing class. Smallish, black dude standing in front of a class of virgin 20 year olds and dropping his robe to expose it ALL so I could draw ALL of it. I am teaching an IRL Figure drawing class tomorrow. The model is clothed but it still brings me back. And I was looking at some art and I wanted to show you something. Point something out. WARM AND COOL Exaggerated. See how the front of the body is very warm - reds, creams and warm browns. But there is a second light. Maybe a florescent light? And the highlights are BLUE! And how about the composition? What do you see? 🔺⭕️📐?????? This is a painting by an artist that my friend @Thomas Richards turned me on to. He paints much looser thank I do but I love it.
