| Tanner watercolor 12.5 x 9 |
Our painting class so enjoyed Tanner in the fall that we invited him to be our model again this spring for two weeks...the first familiarizing and drawing; the second painting. I am always so amazed at the "multiple looks" that every person conveys. In this case, it hit me like a brick. As a high school senior, Tanner's look has changed and he has visibly matured in the past several months. His haircut different...more sophisticated. And he posed wearing a bright yellow raincoat...fodder for any visual artist. My painting was begun from life and completed with the aid of a photograph taken during the session. Two sessions are always tricky...the skew of the head was somewhat different in the photo. After the session, Tanner provided his own personal responses to each work...and showed himself to be incredibly observant and sensitive. Congratulations on your graduation, Tanner!!!
Tanner is off to Columbus College of Art and Design in the fall.
