figure study 22 x 28 oil

I am taking a figure painting class at art league houston. This is my first painting getting back into the class. I worked on this for about 5 hrs or 2 class sessions.  For the most part I like it. I like the body and most of the colors. The model is an older lady who is actually very regal looking which I am not sure if I pulled off. Now that I see it on the screen in miniature it looks different and I see some areas that need a little more work such as the knees but it is hard to work on it without looking at the model.  We will have a different model on wednesday so I can start another painting.
