Another painting done from inspiration in my sketchbook. Years ago, I took an open life drawing class (not structured lessons but a teacher there to help you and answer questions about your drawing as you went along…where I learned to sight measure for a figure drawing). So I have several large sketchbooks of things done in the class. Taking those out, I picked out a few to inspire me to do future paintings…here is the 2nd one.

Then, the painting. I liked the way the Lunar Blue (Daniel Smith) created the interesting texture in the tail and hair.

What a great way to repurpose life drawings. I have a sketchbook full from last time I tried it: the moderator would up posing for is most nights when the model failed to show!
I like the lunar blue too
I have several sketchbooks from those sessions with the live model. I am going back to some of my best ones and trying to make paintings from them…so much stuff you find in your sketchbooks (which I just pile up all around and don’t look at again!!
