In our newly posted Sketch Sessions video artists Scott Goodwille and Mikel Glass and host Jeff Wiener sketch the lovely Mia, a lithe model who has worked for several of New York City’s finest art schools and drawing ateliers.

In this video, all three artists comment about the drawing process, and in particular, the use of “triangulation” to compose an accurate rendering of a complex pose. Each has their own take on the process.

Host Jeffrey Wiener is joined by Scott Goodwillie in the final of four poses in our Sketch Sessions with our lovely Asian model Amy.

This session has our model standing squarely with her hands on her hips, to create interesting shadows down the length of her body. Note the wonderful way the shadow from her hand is cast on her buttocks. Our model also has a beautiful, strong back, and the definition of her muscles is noteworthy.

Host Jeffrey Wiener is Joined by Scott Goodwillie in a series of sketches taken from our lovely young Asian model.

This session has our model laying on her back, with her arms folded behind her head, in the style of Francisco de Goya’s La Maja Desnuda, Amedeo Modiglianio’s The Red Nude, and Thomas Hart Benton’s Persiphone. Note the wonderful line her form creates on the black background. Our model has a beautiful, strong back, and the definition of her muscles is noteworthy. The quality of her skin, and its tone as set against the ruby red fabrics, make this series a lush viewing experience.

This video is made available to you as a streaming video or a iPod Formatted direct video download.
