I first saw this post on tumblr by user flushedskin and knew I wanted to paint something with this as a guide.

I first worked on a study on my ipad and then tonight painting this with watercolors.  I had to modify it a bit since the original photo had a hand and phone in the way, but I think I did all right.  I ended up using my husband posting for me to figure out where the shoulder should be.

I love how soft this looks, like the coloring too.  There is something about the human form that I just love painting.
