Kimmy, charcoal on paper, 2010
I had been so focused on the complications of big paintings that I had totally forgotten about sketching from life as an end in itself. More importantly, I remembered how quickly that skill goes away and how crucial it is to creating lively work. We did short poses for nearly an hour (all bad) and when I finally settled into the longer pose (1 hour), I was ready for it.
