Long Pose Watercolor (NSFW) (Patreon)

Long pose tonight! We started up with four 5-minute warmups, first...

I don't know if it's the lighting we've had lately (it's been so good!) or just that I'm going right in with watercolor, which is tricky, but I've been having a hard time finishing a lot of these lately!

Here's my first, uhhh proportionately-challenged attempt at our long pose:

Which was interpreted into this for the rest of the night:

I liked the face! It looks a lot like her.

I also liked the hands, even as unfinished as they are, because I felt like the thumb over the left hand gives the pose some sense of grounding that's otherwise missing. 

I didn't have a glass of clean water throughout the night - I just kept using the same muddy cup of water - which is sort of a no-no in watercolor. It's the reason her face is so low-key; normally I'd have washed some light layers of barely-tinted water over the not-white-highlights areas in her face, but instead I idiotically dipped my brush into muddy purple water and reached for the yellow.... thus producing a dirty yellow that I tried to fix by going over it with way-too-opaque yellow. 

Ah well! That's how ya learn.
