<\/p>\nBones Jone did his annual\u00a0posing for the artists. This is a great way to work on proportions, foreshortening, and anatomy. Quite a challenge! We used pens, marker and watercolors because the watery medium lends itself well for skeletons. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 They did a good job. Enjoy these Bones Joneses and scroll down for the Class Schedules.<\/p>\n
