Once Bikini Cowgirl and her male companion left the poolside, I needed a new subject, because I was
in the zone. I noticed there was a woman sitting what was to the left of the Bikini Cowgirl, and she did not move. She was sitting upright on the edge of the pool, her eyes were closed and there was a towel across her lap. I wasn't sure if she was napping upright, or meditating, but she just stayed in one pose. There I was sketching her, trying to get her in proportion, then, all of sudden she opened her eyes, looked around her and got up and left! At that point I had mainly worked on her body and she had no head. Then I realized, "worry not, there are alot
of other heads around here", so I picked the younger woman who was sitting on her left. After I completed the sketch, I realized I was not correct with proportions, since the first woman's body was heavy set and the second woman's head was slender, but I realized it was all "ok".
My last sketch was of a the man below who was just relaxing in a chair, listening to the music, or day dreaming. For the most part he sat in this position, but every now and then he shifted, then went back into his pose. I felt very satisfied and gratified when all was finished! I will blog next about some artisans I met.
