COMMISSIONING A PORTRAIT

COMMISSIONING A PORTRAIT:
There are pricing guidelines on my website for portrait commissions. The lead time required for a portrait commission is commensurate with the detail and the technique being utilized. For any questions please contact me at mona@monadianeconner.com. A note that on occasion I post drawings from life, as well as drawings of nude models, as it is an important traditional practice which improves my ability in portraiture.

"Yves"

detail from "Yves", carbon pencil, charcoal and white pastel on gray paper

"Yves", 18" x 18"

"Yves Hands", carbon pencil on newsprint

Professional dancer, Yves, was our kind model for this week's Wednesday evening drawing session.  He hails from a city in France which is a complex of small villages known as Marseille.  The first drawing was from a 40 minute pose, and the hand study was 20 minutes.  As with "Carolina", I embellished both drawings further from memory after 
the live session.  Merci,Yves!
