size: 11x15 in.
medium: watercolor
price: $150.00

This piece was done in late 2006 at the Haven Arts Gallery in the Bronx. Haven Arts would host free figure drawing sessions every Thursday night, along with free wine and cheese. It was one of the best deals in town. And Jen was one of the best models. She would get into really difficult poses and hold them for 20 to 40 minutes. This was one of those nights where I ran out of some of my regular colors and had to use substitutes, hence the pale violet color in the shadow areas. I'm not sure what I did to get to this color but it did include a lot of white gouache.
