Thanks, Terri. I don't pose like a model. I frequently change positions and I try to construct the painting based on rough estimates of the mass rather than in more sight-size approach. In the end, my last pose wins over what came before. The leg over knee hurts after a while but, at that point, I rest my leg and focus on things that don't require that part of the pose.
