Quick Demo with Model vs. Photo

It's been ages since I've painted a model,
and I struggled doing this  quick demo for our first 

"Figure in the Sunlight"

 class last week. 

20 minute demo 

8 x 10 

(wiped it off twice!) 

To "redeem myself" I did this later in my studio 

 from a photo 

in about 45 minutes.

I was terribly bored. 

Doing quick poses with a model is a great way to push yourself.

You have to say what you have to say, quickly and simply. 

No time to overwork it! 

I'm starting to think that in this class, 

I am teaching what I want to learn!

We have a dynamic and enthusiastic group 

and I look forward to the journey we are on!
