Day 17 - Life Drawing

This has been a struggle today. I was taking a painting class this morning, our first for the new year and I was nervous, as I always am on the first morning. They have all been working hard during the holidays, they are such a good group of students! I attended life drawing Wed and Thur evenings so decided to do a small oil study from one of Thur evening's drawings.
I am happy enough with the figure, the pillow behind him leaves a lot to be desired!! See below the drawing I worked from and also another drawing I really like. the female drawing is from Wed evening's session.
