These are figure studies from a weekly class I took a number of years back with Bob Cormier, a Boston School trained artist who himself studied for years under R.H. Ives Gammell. I have been fortunate to study with some of the top Master Artists of our time.
We had all kinds of fantastic models who wore fabulous outfits. Sometimes they told us recipes for salmon, other times they dozed off and sometimes they didn't show, but then we'd hear stories from Mr. Cormier and paint from reference. It was a great time no matter what.
