UDPATE: 10/28/13 Long Pose - Sultan's Harem Theme
2013, Mike Burrell, media?, size? |
We ended up having about a 2-hour long pose. The abundance of textures and surfaces was quite challenging!
Looking forward to our next long pose! As an artist you definitely need to strategize your approach differently than from shorter poses. If we extend the poses even longer to allow sculptors to join the session then that changes it even more!
