Dean rolled his eyes at her teasing and poked his tongue out right back. "Lovely," he said dryly, not really wanting to talk about that particular aspect of Susan's work. "I just wasn't, you know, expecting it. And I'm so used to your usual red..." he trailed off and shrugged.
"Well Mum and Dad were just here for the tour, and there's a rather large portrait of my father, you know, the one I share genes with. I knew that was going to be pretty intense for Mum, so we decided to wait until next weekend. They're coming back to do the proud parent thing for the Muggle weekend and Jess and Cat are coming along too, so there'll be a whole multi-point attack thing going on. Seamus offered to possibly help deflect a bit, but it depends if he can get away." Dean was pretty sure that no amount of deflection was going to effectively distract four people from giving some sort of grilling to Ophelia, but he could hold it off until next week.
"And yup, we decided she's getting the whole singing and dancing Seamus-and-Dean show- although no actually singing and dancing because that is a terrible idea!" He laughed suddenly at the thought of the pair of them either singing or dancing, he was pretty sure neither of them had those particular skills.
He nodded and walked towards the first group of sketches, one of the nude sets. "Well, every time we get someone in to sit for us I tend to do a range of shorter and longer poses - you remember, right?," he asked, referring to the various times he'd asked his friend to pose for him. Although in the case of friends they were generally speaking clothed. "So I've gathered up some of the longer poses and done all the usual animation spells, et voilà," he said, gesturing. Each set of sketches included three different individuals, although several were repeated in different groups and different levels of nudity. He and Braith often shared model costs and some of these sessions never came to more than sketches to keep them familiar with anatomy.
