Jeff at Hipbone conducts a "long pose" session every month, which means we have three 3-hour sessions to paint the same figure in the same position, and stand in the same place to do so. The first week I did a few horrible sketches. The second week I did a very small "study" but then never moved on to the big painting. So week three, I did the whole painting (above) in one session. I can definitely see the value of the long pose--it was much easier to paint the pose with speed and fluidity. I would not have been able to do this painting during the first session.
Painting done 6/18/13
