This little nude is quite different from the brushed out, tightened down paintings that I am used to doing. It was all I could do to not blend out the strokes and soften her up. Old habits die hard and I am fighting against years of photo-realism. I am not unhappy with the results. Fear not! A zebra can't change his stripes. Doing these quick oil sketches will hopefully keep my larger work fresh and lively.

It's a lovely study, Mark. I also struggle with loosening up but find that a live model in a short pose is quite motivating!
Thanks, Diana. My live work is very loose too.
