Figuring it out, pun intended.
*Hello all. I need to excuse myself for my language inconsistency, sadly I am a child of the spanglish generation and I tend to just go with the flow with whichever language that chooses to express itself through me. This time I will be tactful enough to translate, but I don't guarantee I will always do so. So if I ever write in a language you don't understand, at least you can always delight in the nonverbal language of pictures.
These drawings are from a figure drawing class I took last month with Melanie Reim, a fantastic artist and illustrator. Although I graduated some time ago from art school it is always good for me to go back to the basics, draw from a nude model and really understand the human figure.
I absolutely love this model in particular, since her body language is fierce and imposing without her even trying. Ah, the joys of having a model pose for me.
*Hola a todos, necesito disculparme por mi inconsistencia con el lenguaje, lamentáblemente soy hija de la generación "spanglish" y tiendo a dejarme llevar con cualquiera de los dos idiomas que desee expresarse a través de mí. Esta vez tendré el tacto como para traducir, pero no garantizo que siempre lo haré. Asi que si alguna vez escribo en un idioma que no entiendes, por lo menos siempre puedes disfrutar del lenguaje no verbal de las imágenes.
Estos dibujos son de una clase de dibujo de la figura que tomé el mes pasado con Melanie Reim, excelente artista e ilustradora. Aunque hace ya un tiempo que me gradué de la escuela de arte, siempre me hace bien volver a lo básico, dibujar modelos desnudos y realmente entender la figura humana.
Me encanta esta modelo en particular, ya que su lenguaje corporal es (feroz?) e imponente sin ella siquiera intentarlo. Ah... el deleite de tener un modelo que me pose.

Three faces of Las Canitas
When a Mama Brush and a Papa Brush...
And that's how brushes are made...
A visit to the Daler and Rowney factory in La Romana cleared up the brush making process for me. I went with a drawing class and the people there were kind enough to show us around and let us snoop and draw. Sadly there wasn't too much time, if it was up to me I could have pitched a tent in the warehouse and drawn there for months...
Above a drawing of our kind hosts. Caroline, the lady, showed us around.
Don't ask about these machines, I just recorded them, sadly my industrial machinery knowledge is limited to say the least. Oh but they DO have such pretty shapes!
Here are some of the ladies that do part of the labor by hand. They sort out different kinds of hair, a tricky and intense process. They are all women since they have the delicateness and preparation to do so. Go girls!
