Reclining Nude (study) by Ivan Boyadjhiev

Grief - I'd be over the moon with this as the finished painting - look forward to seeing Mark II.

The girl the way she is now is okay but the couch is what makes me hesitant. Maybe I'll need to change it to a sofa or something. Haven't decided yet.

This looks pretty good to me as it is Ivan. The couch makes for an interesting composition, though I think the girl's neck maybe a little bit long.

Ivan, I think it's perfect as it is, I love the study, does there need to be a mark II?<br />

Thanks for your comments, guys. Well, speaking about the neck, yes it's a bit longer than it should be but I usually do so, it's the same on some other paintings. Probably that's some pshycologically motivated choice, not a technical error. As for painting this on a canvas, I'll decide whether I'll do so some time later. I'm now focused on another idea so this one goes to the archive (for now).

I had a piece of cardboard (A4 size) left so I decided to make a good use of it. This study is very likely to turn into a full-scale painting sooner or later, yet there are some details that need to be changed. Still, this is what the basic composition looks like.
