Our stolid Dan, from yesterday's alla prima class. Doesn't he look movie-star handsome?

Ursula


The model was standing on a platform and looking up (don't know how she could do that for 3 hours!), with lighting from below--so a very different painting experience yesterday.

Dan 3


Another of our favorite and frequent models, Dan. He poses like a statue; it's unbelievable. Apparently, he used to be a "bureaucrat and therefore knows how to sit still for long periods of time" (his words).

Monk James


Our renowned Ozzie snake-hunter model James, called in on a moment's notice to save the day when another model couldn't come, this time in a monk incarnation (or, variously labeled during class, "in his bathrobe" or "a young Yoda" [he does have those big pointy ears...]).

Robbie


A lovely young guy, Robbie. I'd seen him at a restaurant where he's a busboy and asked him if he might want to model for our alla prima class. Lucky for us--he said yes.  Buoyed by this, I will considering "pimping" some more alla prima models in the future for my art teacher. :)

James the Snake Hunter redux


Here's our favorite Ozzie model, James the snake hunter (really, that's his profession) again, this time avec chapeau. What a great model he is, and I was really thrilled with the way this turned out.
