I painted this in a 2.5 hour life drawing session. My focus was on capturing the light and painting with paint which means using mass and brush strokes rather than drawing with paint. It's a huge shift in both seeing and doing. Less is More! It's so easy to get caught up in drawing unnecessary details which is the death of a painting. Every time I lost my way and defaulted to rendering I took it as a cue calling "Come back to the Light!"

I love this and my eye goes right to the light part of the drawing, it is what brings out the rest of the painting. its like focusing on the silence between the notes when you play an instrument.
great job
