Value Study #2

Here is my second attempt at a value study in Emmy's Color Study Class at the Academy of Realist Art-Boston. I do not think I achieved the fall of light as well as I did on my first value study in the class. Emmy helped much with the plane changes on the pectoral muscles.
The most successful part, I believe, is the light reflecting from the floor back onto the model's legs.

This was a two class study. Ivory black, raw umber, lead white on oil primed linen. Neutral imprimatura (ivory black, raw umber, turpentine).
