Second Week

Second Week

This morning was the second week “RS” posed for the Independent Painters Group. She was in the same pose and I painted her from the same vantage point in the studio. Instead of using watercolors, I used acrylic on a stretched linen canvas. I’m sort of amazed; she ended up looking almost exactly the same. I’m becoming too consistent.
