Productive

I've been attacking my sketchbooks recently. At first I was doing watercolors in a park in NYC, but I decided, with the good advice of my muse, to do some regular figure studies from my nudie books. So the crappy crappy ones are from the books, but I wasn't focusing on anatomy as I should have. Today has been so productive! Most of the color sketches are from yesterday and the last week or so, but some I colored today.

Nudies from today

Inhale No. 1

I realize this is a poor quality photo, but I had just gotten the camera and just finished this giant painting so I was in a hurry to capture it. I believe it is 48x60" and the color is more mauve than the photo would have you believe. I've been showing it here and there and it's up for sale in my Etsy shop, NinaBeretta, but I am dreading the day someone buys it. I had such a great time working at such a large scale I finished the whole thing in no time (as far as oil paintings go). I have some ideas for others like it but Ferrari refuses to model for me, despite her otherwise loving to show off her perfect body.

Lots to See
