I joined a three week workshop with Suzanne Young, an excellent figure/portrait artist. At the end of the session, I took some pictures of this beautiful model since I wanted to get some details that I wasn't able to see without having the photos. I guess I basically work with photos but it was a nice practice for me. The model was absolutely beautiful..she was Arabic/Basque (beautiful combination) wearing a colorful outfit.. she told me that the vest belonged to her grandmother. I give her so much credit for staying in one position for the 20 minutes at a time during the 3 hr. class. I enjoyed painting from life...a change from working from a photo...
