Sketch for Gabriela on the Couch with Pillows. Oil. A painting. Black and white. A sketch for this painting.
Gabriela. On the couch with pillows. But this is the sketch. The real painting isn't finished yet. We just finished the sketch tonight. It's nice. 
Painting Gabriela on the Couch with Pillows.
Video. Look closely, and you can see the black and white sketch (in oil) leaning against the wall.
Gabriela.
Watercolour and pencil on paper. June, 2008. Hendon.
After sharpening all of my pencils, we tried three diferent poses. This last pose included lots of circles, implied shapes, and pillows. At the time (two and a half weeks ago), we had decided that this watercoulour of Gabriela on the couch with some pillows would be the painting pose. Of course, that decision never came true and was overridden by the future.
Pencils are People Too. I did not, in fact, neurotically sharpen seven pencils in a quick succession. I did however sharpen seven pencils in a quick succession. To prepare for some preparatory drawings of Gabriela, I had to explain the benefits of a full range of ready-access graphite.
