What a great weekend... after one month at home (and a week in the hospital), I finally ventured out. I had to, I was so pale I was nearly invisible. So yesterday and today I made it to the seaside (Rimal Beach). It was a smooth ride, no traffic because of the Lebanese elections going on and so the country has shut down for 3 days. WOW.... sun sun sun... I laid down on a reclining beach chair by the pool side and didn't move, well just a little. I made a bunch of sketches of mostly unsuspecting beach goers; all of them so fit, beautiful, either relaxing, soaking in the sun or just sitting on the pool edge.....
This is Tamara and Patrick having drinks over a conversation.... I'd tell you what they were saying but I couldn't hear them. They had no idea I was drawing them, but they saw the sketch afterward and liked it !
This Is Hala Rassi, also an unsuspecting model... she was a great model... Beautiful and didn't move much!! Thanks Hala. Hala was with a group of very charming friends... I hope they like their pictures and hope to see them soon at Rimal!!!
This is Michel Aynati... one of Hala's friends... he knew I was sketching him... a funny guy and also a pretty good model (he moved a bit because he was enjoying his smoke). His wife asked me to put some hair on his head but I thought he looked cool the way he is!!!
And these are some more beautiful poolside girls.... great poses!
So I hope you like my quick figure drawings. Maybe some will turn up in later paintings. I had a great weekend making them and I guess that's what really matters!
