I am trying to paint watercolour at life drawing again. I think my approach was quite successful. As the poses are generally only 5 minutes in duration I just painted the skin tones. Later, during a pose I did not find inspiring ( when the model had her back to me ) I painted the background and more shading, especially around the face.
I liked this model so I felt quite inspired. The lighting at ABF is awful, fluorescent tubes in a very large room, not very pleasing normally but a good model makes up for it.

a pleasure see you again, fantastic watercolors, the skin tones wonderful, simplicity in washes and good tonal values, I´m impressed you´ve not forgotten how….. Congratulations. Good job.
Thank you setxu! I will try painting like this again today, I found it very rewarding.
