Frater Marinae

              Last night at John's I drew Nick.  I achieved a likeness and decent proportions.  I always feel I am more successful with a profile, perhaps because I do not have to balance eyes.  Adele indicated that my theory isn't necessarily true, since one is working with less information with a profile. Before drawing, we worked on constructing a head out of clay.  Great way to understand the construct of the head more fully.  Building the shapes and positioning them appropriately was useful.  In addition, John lectured about lines and Holbein.   I limited the amount of shading in this study.  John kept this sketch, since I always destroy them.  He decided it was good enough to keep.
