16x20 oil on New Traditions linen panel mounted on gatorfoam.

I was experimenting with a new support, a new medium (Maroger's) and I was attempting to stay loose. I was also working from a black and white reference photo given to me by an amateur photographer. I did have a color reference, but a different angle. I was inspired by all the great nudes I've seen posted here and wanted to try my hand at it for the first time since college really. I've found a model and will be using her soon - so this was my warm-up.
