Tram, 2008, by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

Faces are so complex I find it hard to draw them small.\u00a0 Working at about twice life size gives enough room for my hand to delineate the shapes I see, using the blunt crayons that are my favored tool.\u00a0 The enlarged scale makes the images imposing even when seen from a distance.<\/p>\n

This is Tram, one of the older professional artists’ models working in New York.\u00a0 His aquiline nose and great white beard make for a picture of gravitas, but he can also have a more impish quality.\u00a0 Here are two quicker sketches of Tram:<\/p>\n

The structure of this face was so strong that the drawing came right together, and I had time to study the complexities of color:<\/p>\n
