Painting from Life

It was an opportunity I didn't want to pass up- two models at the open figure group last week. In the midst of Christmas preparations it was great to set that all aside for a few hours. After the 5 minutes poses, we had four 20 minute poses. I used one sheet of paper and painted  with a very limited palette in acrylic. I just did one after the other. A present to myself, the sweet gift of time!
