Life Painting

In painting class we've started the last project of the term.  We're doing a portrait of a live model.  I've never done life painting before.  We could chose which palette to use.  I'm using Old Masters this time.  I'll be able to practice the other, which the teacher calls "warm & cold," next term.  He explained that during our last class this term we'll have an individual critique and also decide on a project for next term.  I want to work with warm and cold.

Anyhow here's my portrait so far.  I asked the teacher if you can compose using diagonal lines.  He said you can and it's called X-focus.  The diagonals began with the folds in the blue sheet behind the model.  Next week I add colour.
