7FEB2012 One Fair Drawing

An excellent model - she hardly breathes - so much fun to draw - but I hardly do her justice.

I get this type pose often, and I love it. My energy was discombobulated last night and it took me all evening to get settled. This one has a more overall coverage of pastel application and I'm trying to decide if I like it. I'll admit, too, that I took an artistic liberty: there was a partial view of the left leg and foot, obscured by the fabric. I drew, and redrew, and could not make it look accurate - the shape there was so awkward. So in the 2 minute warning, I painted over it. Normally, don't like to give in to a challenge - but it just wasn't there. The other drawings of the evening are going into the recycle-repaint bin - straightaway!!
