This was a one minute pose (a gesture pose)and models are encouraged to move around a lot and get into positions that they can hold for one minute, but could never hold for 5 minutes.<br /><br />The other poses were much longer, and much more relaxed.<br /><br />PA, I love the reclining figures and the backs; they're the most fun for me to paint. I did more today, but I won't post them til the light improves (it's very overcast/rainy today. Beautiful weather, but not so great for photographing colors even semi-accurately).Jean Spitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520415864511680025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-43312522025354194152010-11-03T10:46:14.016-05:002010-11-03T10:46:14.016-05:00Both reclining figures are the strongest.
