Thoughts:
A quick freehand sketch in my watercolors class, I never bothered to give her clothes, so she became my first nude painting. I was striving for very soft shading on her, so that there were no visible bands and the colors all transitioned smoothly. She was an excercise in using only 3 paint colors - I chose thalo red, ultramarine blue and lemon yellow. And then proceeded not to use any of those colors purely in the painting as a challange for learning color mixing.
