Figure painting

For the past 3 weeks, we have spent part of each painting class, painting the nude figure. This woman was lovely and curvy, and made for some good painting. The model's pose and expression were those of a strong, capable woman, proud of who she is and how she looks. I had the words from an old Helen Reddy song stuck in my mind the entire time I was painting her (as you can tell from title of the piece).

I am Woman
