Anyone entering the room would only hear blues music and scratching sounds. Using pencils, pastels, and paints, seventeen artists seated in a circle give their own renditions of a single subject. In the middle of these artists is a woman dressed for a workout, a dance instructor by profession, with her head tilted upwards.
With some artists, they focus on her upswept hair and charming features. The others' attention is drawn to her body and limbs, which they render in long strokes or soft shading. A different rendition by a watercolor artist from Crystal Lake combines all the model's poses, superimposed across the canvas, to give the viewer a feeling of movement. She earns her living from painting landscapes, leaving her only the group's weekly sessions during which to try new techniques and practice figure drawing.
Most people feel it is natural to practice playing an instrument, but they do not think that art takes practice. She stands back to assess today's art and finds she likes it. A portrait becomes great by the depth of feeling captured in the subject's face and overall image, which can come from long study or during a burst of genius in a practice session.
Portraits are the primary art form of another female artist, who returned to the group two years ago after devoting two decades of her life to the business sector. There has always been a special spot in her heart for portraits. It is her job to take whatever expression the subject gives and turn it into a painting. Her impression of the model is that of royalty, and she uses unlikely color combinations of dark green, blue, yellow and white to convey this.
The face is more than just colors to the artist. In addition, the artist takes into account the effect of lighting on tone, cool ones like blues and greens and warm ones like yellows and whites. This follows the tradition of Renoir, which she is trying to master. The artist working on commission can make do with either a live sitting or a photograph. For those with no time to spare sending a photograph is convenient, but a live sitting enhances the personality captured on canvas. The artist who can adequately capture any personality on canvas is truly great. A show of personality can be a fleeting thing. What she wants to capture isn't an exact likeness, though her works come out recognizable. When she succeeds in expressing the inner person, the painting is much more valuable.
Another consideration is how to balance artistic urges with a patron's requirements. The subject of the portrait is given more life when vibrant colors are used.
