Painting A Week #1

I am not close to finishing the large gerber painting yet so I decided to start a quick painting for this first week.

It marks a milestone for me, as this painting represents the first one I have completed from life. Sure I have sketched many things from life but I have never created a painting this way before.

I like the crop of the above image but the painting was completed on a full sheet of Canson as you can see from the images below.

One done, 51 to go.
