Bullfrogs and Nekkid Ladies

I had made a fatal error on the hand picture the other day.  It was still only a few hours into the work, but enough time had been invested that I didn't want to have to start over.  I was erasing some light pencil dust that had settled in the white section of the paper with a kneaded eraser that had a piece of "Tuscan Red" lead in it that I hadn't noticed.  Crap!  Well, even my electric eraser didn't take the colour away.  I had heard that you could lift it with a solvent, but I wasn't willing to take the chance on ruining the work.  I used a piece of fine sandpaper and was able to sand it away.  The "Stonehenge" papers tooth remained unchanged by the sandpaper and therefore allowing me to continue on as if nothing had gone wrong.  Phew!

The naked chick is the one I'm working on in art class.   We are allotted three weeks (Three half days) to work on her.  I have one more class left, though could probably use another.  I was walking out with the model this week when she was telling me her husband was waiting in the car at the door of the art school the week before and when she got in she started telling him about the pose she had chosen for the class.  He replied that he had already seen it walking out of the art school with the various students.  I wonder how he feels about everyone on the street knowing what his wife looks like naked.  And yes, I think if you saw her standing beside the painting, even though she was fully dressed, you'd know it was her;-)
