Marisa profile study

Here is a quick painted sketch I did of Marisa a few days ago.

I was frustrated with the painting I was working on of the other model (we have 2 models for 3 weeks in August) so I decided to come back to Marisa's side of the room. I'm really glad I did, it gave me a chance to think about how I was going to deal with the other painting and it was really fun painting simply and boldly (with a BIG brush) again for a little bit. It felt like a cold splash of water to the face! Am I being too dramatic? Yes, probably.

Tonight is the last night of Max Ginsburg's Summer class (tear). I am going to miss my fellow classmates! I have one more painting to show from the Summer session and then a short break.

Also, I have 10 paintings on display in downtown Brooklyn at The Art of Brooklyn Festival. I will give more details about that later tonight or tomorrow.
