Duo Model: Three week pose

In class assignment for Jay:
Build and stretch a 48" x 60" canvas 
to be used for a 3 week painting with duo model setup
Oil

1st day: 2 hours in.
I decided to start with an 'en grisaille' underpainting 

1st days finish: Im fairly satisfied with the start

2nd day finish: I was originally excited about this start, but then during the last 20 minutes, Jay made us start generically filling in color, which i didn't appreciate. I've always been told to never 'fill in' a painting ...

Final Painting 
Not completely happy with the finish, I would have really liked to have another class period to refine some of the areas, but im fairly happy with how the models turned out. It seems to have its own glow, even though i started it with a dark underpainting
