A live model is a luxury, and an entirely different challenge compared to a static reference photo.
No matter how brilliant the sitter is, they will move, or the light will move, or the pose they chose will fatigue muscles. It makes the painting choices much more dynamic.
It was fun to do, even if the third finger tucked under the thumb was really challenging to try and make sense of with a big wonky brush.
Til the morn,
