Thirty-Nine























When I took the painting workshop at Studio Incamminati three years ago, one of the instructors told us if we kept practicing, just kept going through that awful muddy phase, we would start to get glimpses, little areas of our paintings where something starts to come alive. And we wouldn't even know what it is was we did. Then, as we noticed the glimpses more and more, we would also start noticing what it is we did that made them happen, and then we could do it again and before we knew it we would really be painting.

what draws me to this image is the combination of wonderful detail and hints of an image.
this must have been a difficult posture for the model to hold. How long do you have to draw with each sitting.
