H.
gouache
30.5 x 22.9 cm (12" x 9")

Local artists quite appreciate H. She's a big woman, not shy about modelling, who provides the artists with a different body type to draw. Part of drawing nudes, of course, is the study of anatomy, and since there is no standard body type, artists like to be presented with a variety of types.

Standing poses are never the models' favourites. They become uncomfortable in short order. H. held up remarkably well.
