touches of textiles
Tara decided to emulate a pose from an Egon Schiele piece, where the model was wearing boots and was partially wrapped in fabric. This is one version of the model in that pose, although not the exact piece that was in the Schiele book:
And here is Tara recreating the pose:
.
And here is my interpretation of it:
I like that Tara took on this pose and incorporated some textiles to add to the "drama" of the scene.

Brown-eyed Girl
This painting is hot off the presses and is going to be in The Soundry's member show (opening this weekend). The model had deep brown eyes and I tried to paint her playfully as Van Morrison's lyrics ran through my head.

two for one
at a recent session, we started with quick, 5-minute gesture drawings, and then a series of 30-minute poses. in this painting, one of the gesture drawings became the background - the shoulders and chest that you can see. on top of that i painted the model in her longer pose. i kind of like the outcome.
