Susan #1 10x8 oil

I do love drawing and painting the figure.  It is very focusing and relaxing.  It also is an intense day of seeing and interpreting.

This was the first of the day.  I worked on this one for 20 minutes.  I do like these faster poses to warm up.  I am working on getting faster so not to fuss and overwork and just see what I can capture in a short time.  To walk into a long pose, when I have not painted for a while, can be a day of frustration.  I liked this much better and would love to do shorter wipe off paintings.

I'm really liking this loose quality to these pieces!
