Matisse woman

Here’s another naked woman on a postcard. This one is based on a couple of paintings by Matisse. It’s a pose he used several times. Matisse is a sensual painter, like Rubens. You want to touch, don’t you?
 

Because Matisse doesn’t burden his work with a wealth of detail, I didn’t plan this too much and just went for it.
 

The bedding proved to be the most problematic part of this one. I had to work it, and rework it, and rework it. My original plan was to have the bedding below/to the front of the woman, but then her upper arm read as part of a pillow. So I added the bit of pillow above/behind her arm which seems to make the arm read properly.
