The figure in this painting was done in two afternoon sessions with a model, in natural light. After each session, I continued to work on other elements, such as the chair and background. Compositionally, the chair creates space by enveloping the figure. Orange is one color that ties the chair, hair, and fruit together. Also, the brown ties the wood with the hair.
