Painted from a live model session at Randy Higbee`s Gallery in Costa Mesa, CA. The model is Tony Czechorosky. The attire was boudoir apparel. I will be painting her in another session on February 13, 2010. She will be wearing twentieth century fashion then.
It was a privilege to be invited to this Open Studio Figure Study at Randy Higbee`s Gallery.  There was a group of 25 artists practicing their figural drawing and painting techniques in a large open space, in the middle was the beautiful and professional model, Tony Czechorosky posing with grace and eloquence in varied boudoir apparel.  I chose to paint her full length with all the props, others painted just her face and some painted her as an abstract.  It was a lively session and serious at times when we all were working to complete the paintings. 
I am looking forward to attending the next open studio as I do love painting the figure. You can see this larger in my website under Paintings - Figural category.
