Ellen, 20 x 16 study on oil
This morning's figure study. A bit uneven, although I enjoyed the session greatly.
oil on linen, 20 x 16, a two and one-half hour pose. |

Rob I love it .... It reads well to me ... I get a 2/half hour pose on Fridays to work from .... It's a good amount of time I think to push the mind buttons so to speak ..

Re: Ellen, 20 x 16 study on oil
She's one of my favorite people to draw, always looks slightly angry-- which I find makes me pay very careful attention. Odd, no?

Re: Ellen, 20 x 16 study on oil
Great study! I've been getting more than my share of those same poses. If you can get past having the light in your eyes they can come out pretty awesome (like yours).
