Studies from Three Sessions

Crossed Leg Female Nude, 2010, oil on canvas, 24 x 18 inches

Female Portrait, 2010, oil on linen, 12 x 9 inches

These are the latest figure studies from the last couple of weeks I worked on at the Art Students League. This was originally a three week pose, but since I'm a part time student I only had a chance to work on it for only three sessions. On the second Monday and Tuesday of the pose I worked on the grisaille of the full figure. On the last Monday, I worked on the small portrait. Having only a limited number of sessions with the models is forcing me to move and see things quicker. These may not be masterpieces in the world of figure studies but hey, I'm just starting.
