This is oil, 14x18? in an hour & 1/2.

My first 'from life' study in 10 years maybe.

I'm pleased because I nailed her likeness immediatly, but if she hadn't had to leave I could have fixed some values on our right - her cheek and hair are not dark enough.

I'm going to do at least one a week from now on from life. I'll set a time limit and make myself resist taking a photo to fix it later.
