Golden

The model was Gilda on Saturday. First three 10 minute poses on A1 paper, charcoal pencil.

Then the long pose. I tried to get some of the abstraction that Philip Pearlstein's paintings have by using a tight crop. About 2 hours 30 minutes in acrylic on 22"x18".

The light had changed so much by the afternoon I gave up correcting and painted a quick sketch. About 35 minutes 16"x12".
