New Figure Study in Oil from Life
We have a great model in my portrait class, and I think it’s beneficial to arrange to have us paint a nude study to break things up and get us all away, briefly, from fixating on the head alone. This is a multi- hour pose, and I’ve worked on this 9 x 12″ study between making the rounds in the group.
Above all else, I’m trying to find the color notes, state them simply and let them do most of the talking.
