We are discussing the "ins and outs"
of painting from photos in class.
 I used this image for my demo today.

(Delray Beach, Fla.)

The "story" is the red bathing suit.

I did my map using techniques from Peggi Kroll Robert's  

"Simple Proportions of the Figure" DVD

"Daily Swim"

 quick demo 

 It's all about taking the image and
"making it your own".
