Eating crow!

I posted in another thread how I disliked having 4-minute poses in life model sessions. Taking a critical look at what I've done with the long poses, and sifting through the sketches from the 4-minute poses, I find there's a liveliness inherent in more interesting poses than what comes through the long sets which too often slump into "beached whale" mode.

I'm attempting to "salvage" a couple of those sketches, this is three hours into a study from a pencil sketch that doesn't provide much more information than an indication of the model's position. I'm having to correct anatomy and "invent" the other details . . . hopefully relying on the backlog of all that time spent painting from the life model.
