In this painting you will note the same colors, same fabrics as Gypsy Girl but this pose is a bit more dynamic.
In Effortless, the model is wearing a gauzy white dress, gazing directly at the viewer, an arm flung above her head. This model is a favorite of mine - she is gorgeous and Sargent would have loved her.She has pale luminous skin and dark jet hair and she knows how to strike a pose.
Typically, I love to do a Portrait (head shot) of her because her features are unbelievable. Her profile is muse-worthy and yet I loved her languid pose,so I turned my canvas to get the full length in composition.
I didn't want to worry the painting overmuch, so I worked on the draping and the facial features but didn't get out the teeny brushes to define the tiny hands and feet.
