After working on a larger, more detailed painting today, I have to say how much I enjoyed doing this little piece. It's usually the other way around. I start with the hor'dourve , so to speak - warm up with a small study - then onto the main course.
The thing I like doing is what I call "dragging the edges". On these small ones, I play around with that more often, caring less about the tightness and looking for happy accidents. Like in her hair and the edge of her back.
The results are more casual and spontaneous. I like that.
