My muscles still do the same thing...

I was telling a friend I was posing for an Anatomy class today. She ask but how can the see what your muscles are doing? I replied no matter my size, my bones, muscles, etc does the same thing as someone smaller.

When I pose for such classes, it challenges the knowledge of the students knowing how the body moves. No they can not 'see' my muscles. They have to use there knowledge of the human body to understand the pose I have chosen.

I blogged earlier, I pose on purpose. I chose poses that are going to test the knowledge, because they can not 'see' with their eyes. I never stand straight up and down, I am always twisted and leaning.

I love what I do and I am good at it.

My last showcase for the Plethora of Pretty Portraits for Professor Susan Moore's Painting Class Fall 2012, Artist Chi. I have one regret that I missed the opportunity to get a picture of the under painting of this painting. I was asked to wear something bright and colorful, it changed her painting. What I love about this painting:

1. My fingers don't look like claws;
2. Rarely will someone be able to tell the addition of my body to the background was done last. Before my hands looked as if they were hold the vase in space.

In her second set of portraits, it is believed she has best captured my likeness via painting verses drawing.

Artist Ashley from the Plethora of Pretty Portraits for Professor Susan Moore's Painting Class Fall 2012

Artist Ashley had the challenge of finding the lights when there was little light to help. I really love the painting. It is from the first pose I did for this session. The not so painful pose.

The next feature from the 'Plethora of Pretty Portraits for Professor Susan Moore's Painting Class Fall 2012' Show is Eunbi.

I am showing two stages of Eunbi's portrait of me, the drawing and the painting. Yes, there is a difference. Artist Eunbi related the pain I was in during this pose. Even if I did not know I had been in pain, the painting related that.

I dislike breaking poses. Sometimes, when I chose a pose with the aim of being inspiring to the students there maybe a bit of pain involved. The students produced the stages of the paintings over six three hour classes.

I love both versions. The second painting there was also a major light increase. I will be showcasing her again for a different class, so keep an eye out.
