The first painting in the Fascia series is actually three layers and six painting in one. The base is a sketch done at Hipbone Studio during the longterm pose. The second is the torsos of my friend Amanda during a session at my studio. The final layer s from Todd Leninger’s, a long term pose with Laurel. This is the foirst time that I used tape and layered on of my triptychs. This was a three hour add on pose with only a few other painters in the studio. I moved from left to right, painting three different views of Laurel’s face. I like the results, it’s strange how the gestural lines on the base line up with the facial contours.
