This was the largest canvas I had attempted to date. At 4 times the size of my previous works, it was a huge adjustment for me to work on proportionality in the 2-3 class periods I used to bring her to life, much less do something substantial with the negative space. Occasionally I think about returning to these pieces to give them a polished finish, but at the same time am so proud of the detail work I was accomplishing at this time that it’d be shameful to distract from that as the focus. Anyways by this point I was thematically settling into my preferred style and in my mind effortlessly blending feminine beauty with my fascination for human anatomy and physiology.
