One of my recent forays into the world of painting, this is only my third.... I got the chance to sit in on my Aunt's life drawing class. For one hour I was able to paint a model who knew what they were doing! (Sorry all my friends and family, but you just don't know how to stay still.)

Niiiice. I really like the contrast of translucent and opaque.

  Thanks! This was one of my first attempts at acrylic paint, so I experimented a lot.

Oh good good job! I love this. Congratulation you really manage to trap the light! I also like all the paintbrush strokes it gives a very nice quality to this!

And I know what you mean when you say that people dont know how to be still! lol

Very beautiful. It has that wonderful looseness that comes with working from a live model.

I love it.

The shading on her back and shoulders is beautiful.
