The third ses­sion of Thread started slowly but caught fire after after the first break. I find it hard for the model to be as much in the process as they could be if they can’t see the paint­ing in progress. I have this pic­ture nailed to the wall at an angle that can be viewed by my model as I paint. This helps keep myself and my sub­ject con­nected through the mak­ing and gives us both a rea­son to stay present and in the moment. I’ve fleshed out the hands here and soft­ened a few edges, the paint­ing is pro­gress­ing nicely.
