"KB reclining" 12" x 16 oil on linen

Here is a sketch I started yesterday and worked a little on today.  I am trying to paint technically accurate while keeping the brushwork loose.   It is like doing two opposite things at the same time.

David Shevlino's workshop, day 1

I am having a great time at the workshop I am taking with David Shevlino in Cary NC, a suburb of Raleigh.   This is my second painting and when I get better pictures taken I will post the other paintings.

I am not sure if I will put this up for sale yet.  Will  decide later.

Napping on the sofa 11"x14" oil

I painted this a few weeks ago and was not happy with the color combinations surrounding the figure.   The composition was pleasing to me and I wanted to keep it so I unified the colors by first putting on a glaze using Winsor Newton burnt sienna and ultramarine blue making a dark brown.  Then I made the sofa and pillow the same color.    Now I think it works and saved a painting that I might have wiped off or discarded.

Reclining nude in green 14"x18" oil

With this painting we had her pose twice for a total of 6 hours which included breaks and setting it up.  Everything I have done of late has been alla prima, (painting wet into wet paint or all in one sitting) so it was a challenge to paint on it the second time on top of dry paint!   We had a warm yellowish bulb above her and north light coming in through the window at her feet which made for some interesting contrasting light.   I loved the foreshortening, one of my favorite things to do because of the challenge, I think.
