Nude portrait of the model Lilith, seated on a plinth, facing us

This is another painting of Lilith, from the Love Life Drawing reference series. I did this several weeks ago and apparently just never uploaded it here. At the time I was pretty frustrated by it because I’d set out to make a simplified shapes painting and wound up doing too much detail. Once again, trying to get a simplified face to not feel awful eluded me and I kept working at it until she started looking like the reference.

On the positive side of the ledger, the pose is pretty neat, and where I allowed myself to use simpler shapes they work pretty well. The plinth at the bottom looks convincing despite being a very quick thing.
