Time with my art group

My time with my art group is short because my husband 
Steven drops my off, and then picks me up in an hour.  I like
the discipline of that short timeline. And as there are
a couple of breaks for the model during too, it is
even shorter.  So I am delighted when something comes
together at my art group.

This quick study was a bit rough because I was late to
the group on Tuesday, and didn't get quite the amount of time I
needed. So I did a little more work on it at home, and I'm happy
with it. The model was fabulous, and her outfit was beautiful
and complicated to paint. 

For me the point of a quick sketch isn't a perfect work
of art, it's just to loosen up, and to get to work with other
artists. 

Have a loving your life day.

  2. Thank you so much. I find painting from the model inspiring. So I am fast
    in person, but so slow the rest of the time! LOL.

  3. A beautiful, strong portrait! Drawing/painting from the model, for me, is so hard, but sometimes so exhilarating, especially if the model strikes some kind of chord ...
