Now and then I like to spend just a certain amount of time on a sketch--and no more. It is good practice. I spent 20 minutes on this painting..and I know I got down the important elements. I'll likely sand her down and paint over her in the future. Au Revoir Simone!Oil sketch: Celeste Bergin, Lounger, Oil on canvas panel, 20 x 10 inches.

I guess you'll still have the photo...
How is it sanding down the panels prepped with lead white? You must mark the back of them.
Twenty minutes? Very nice!!
Twenty minutes! Beautiful colors and she's definitely lounging. You are amazing.
What a gorgeous study. You've gestured in her pose and splashed in some gorgeous color to boot. Nice!

I sure like this piece, Celeste. Love that background around Simone too. I have such a time with figures, never getting the proportions correct. You did this beautifully and in only 20 minutes!!
The "20 minutes" is what I've heard for years from various instructors ,eventho Hipbone starts with faster warm ups and then does 30 minutes. You captured the graceful ,relaxed pose and I love the color choices.
You may want to keep her! At least for awhile...
Great capture in twenty minutes!
Hi Celeste, and I'm glad you found my blog. And that you have an interest in my aunt, an amazing woman indeed. I have kept blogging at another site from Surgeonsblog, but unless you're a raving liberal (you could be, living in Portland), you might not like it!
