This is the model Sharon.  This painting is a 3rd week painting from the life painting course I am taking.  Trying to get to grips with blocking in tone.  I think this discipline is extremely good and even though I have said it before, feeds into all other artwork that I do.  I was almost hyperventalating when I started as I thought I could not do it. But once I had pushed through that feeling I settled to paint and accept what came out on the painted surface, rather than doing the painting in my head.  I am really enjoying the pain of painting. Does that make me a bit mad?  ......Yep!  Pose is over two weeks so the painting will change next week..
