Life painting at last!

For ever so long I've wanted to paint figures from life but the time allowed in life drawing classes and sketch clubs are far too short. Pina's last class had a 20m and 40m pose and I prepared A3 watercolor papers especially for this opportunity.


Here is the 20 min pose. Not very detailed as it's too quick. But the trick is to get the colour palette set up before and then it's a matter of applying not mixing or pondering colour combinations. The next one is better because of the extended time. It is very fore shortened as we are studying perspective.
