figure class



I returned home late from my figure study class and did not finish the painting in time to post it before midnight, so I decided to post both today together. It has been wonderful returning to the figure as a subject. I have always enjoyed the process and this time I have the opportunity to teach the class! This piece is created somewhat from memory, referring to a drawing I did during the figure session. I normally prefer to have the subject before me when I paint, but it has been a good exercise to recall the light and tone I witnessed earlier that night and decipher the shorthand of my drawing.
