Oil on gessobord, 6x6" NFS

Right now I'm taking a drawing class at a little school called The Atelier in Minneapolis. The style of drawing and painting is Classical Realism, and getting a likeness is not the goal. It has to be perfect. At the end of the 10 week class, I will be lucky if I complete one drawing. So the pace is a little frustrating to me, though I think it will be a very good learning experience and the work that people create is truly amazing. This painting ended up much looser than a lot of other paintings I have done. But I like the simplicity of it. Perhaps it's a reaction to the very precise drawing that I'm doing in class!
