I am forever pulled to the simplicity and complexity of the human figure. I attempt to capture a pose quickly and fluently. The gesture is so personal, so close and I am so very aware of its image. I, therefore, feel that I must work within the confines of the figure again and again.
-Robyn Cochran Ragland
Live model drawings for artists are akin to first drafts for writers. The time limit of a live pose does not allow for planning, revision, or judgment and this is its appeal for me. Much like a meditative process, it requires the artist to be completely present.
– William Yu
