Window III Sepia ©2009 Jacobson
Drawings from the Model
The series titled “Windows” are views through a window. The models are wearing these elaborate hats in all 12 pieces of the series. My objective was to capture the emotion that I could see in their eyes, as I examined both external beauty and internal feelings.
Windows IV, Charcoal ©2009 Jacobson.
Windows I, charcoal & pastel ©2009 Jacobson.
Working with live models, each drawing took approximately 3 hours, and were done on 12 different days. I used grey and natural 30×40 charcoal boards. The mediums were charcoal, pastel, and charcoal pencil.
The three images shown above, are from the series and each was done using a different medium, in the traditional method of hand to paper. Prints on canvas or paper are available.
This is part of the continuing series of Drawing from the Model. If you missed last week’s session see it here. Return next week for another drawing from the model session.

Another wonderful book for your reference library. This is the book I used when in school and learning to draw. Get it from Amazon here.

Mindy: Thanks for these nice compliments. I love to draw and paint. Paper or computer, it makes no difference.
But…with computer I can save every few minutes, and see where I went too far on a piece. On paper, the moment before going too far is gone once you make the next mark.
Sooo, computer drawing and painting really keeps me aware of time, and how much I waste. I love to review all the saves and see where I had the perfect piece. This process is what I used to teach my students. Drawing, saving, drawing, saving, etc., and then reviewing. I really didn’t have to say anything. The drawings speak.
You draw beautifully! I love the hats and the compositions. Nice to see that you do works on paper as well as on the computer. You are one prolific artist!
Dawn: Drawing helps us all. Just takes discipline. Happy to have you following along. I hope to be doing some fun exercises. Keeping loose is important, especially because I do such tight work on the photo-realistic paintings. See ya next week
