THE UNCOMFORTABLE MAN: STUDY IN CHARCOAL

CLIFFORD

"Clifford" was very uncomfortable with being a model.  He sweated, he squirmed, he moved so much it was difficult to get a likeness.  I don't think that he liked himself very much, and his discomfort made us all a bit edgy and glad to get the class over with.  I learned a lot from the experience.  It took several sketches to get even this semi-decent likeness as he dodged us all in an effort to not be known. I am not particularly happy with this portrait.  But then, neither was he!
