I was away at the annual E3 convention, held in L.A. this year, for the first session of this pose, so I only concentrated on something less complex then the entire figure for the second session. Also the pose was not too inspiring. Even so, three hours for a portrait was not enough. This model was not happy with the painters at the workshop because of the smell of the turpentine used. It's funny, because I actually love the mixed smell of oil paints and turpentine. Oh, how I would love to have a studio to just do paintings in.

Session one: E3
Session two: May 20, 2006
