Erin is a great model for this study. She may very well be one of my favorite models to date. Hopefully I’ll have a finished painting soon to post with it. This study took about three hours to finish, the likeness is evident, the values are approximate, and I can safely say that it is one of my most ‘finished’ studies in such a relatively short amount of time!
It’s also worth mentioning that today is one of those days where I felt my work stepping above and beyond the norm. It’s partly because of the modeling expert and partly because I sense a new level dexterity and skill developing in myself. This is such a gratifying experience!
