Hour and a half study of one of my favorite models:
If I spent a little more time, I would have softened the shadows and added more highlights. The study was rendered on toned paper with charcoal. I achieved a good likeness of the model, even though I was more concerned with the proportions of the figure.
I also learned tonight about the difference between gum turpentine and resin turpentine. I had no idea there was a difference! My alchemist, artist friend explained why it is better to use gum. When I start painting more, I'll pick some up at a hardware store....
