Figure Paintings!

So this last semester at Watts Atelier I took a figure painting class. Now I haven't done figure painting in 4 or 5 years, lots of portrait and still life, but not figure. These were done in Sir Erik Gist's class, yes he has been knighted by the unholy undead, scary stuff... Anyways the class was quite the challenge and a lot of fun. Paintings wouldn't have come out as nice if it wasn't for his help. The girl sitting was done in broader range palette and the other two were done in Zorn palette. Paintings were done in 6-9 hours.
