In the meantime, I wanted to share a figure sketch I did last week. This is a 30 minute pose. The sketch is a bit distorted by the camera angle making her head look different from the actual drawing, but the general sense of the drawing is there. The reason why I wanted to share it is that I really resonated with this model. She has an unusual and subtle beauty that I found artistically intriguing. She has many tattoos, some of which are artfully positioned on her face but they add to her overall beauty rather than detract. I would like to paint this young woman's portrait.

Monday is an appointment and errand day for me and then back to work in the studio. I have the next daily painting set up and ready to go.

Great sketch. You can tell you liked this model and I love that your sketches in general have become bolder in their strokes. I scanned back over time at some of the past ones. I hope you see all the improvement you've made Renee, because it's a joy to behold.
Thanks Theresa! Sometimes it is indeed hard to see one's own progress so thank you for your kind comment. The model was one of those who are a natural at modeling. None are terrible but some, both female and male, seem to have grace and flow in whatever pose they take.
