So this afternoon the first model was Gina. She has wonderful curly red hair and a really intense expression. She was great fun to paint and came out well.

First washes and some detail in the features. This was another 20 minutes (I’m speeding up).

More detail in the features and the start of the hair.

Charles did the drawing and then went through the colors – cad red and cad yellow for skin tones with added cerulean for cooler areas.

Our model in a rest period.

My view. Second row today.

20 minutes in – the drawing is done and I was very happy so far. I had a bit of trouble with the cheek shadows but there wasn’t much I could do so I left it.
