Jessica

I had the pleasure of painting this model
during a portrait workshop with Master
Pastelist Dan Slapo. I've known this young
lady since she was born 12 years ago and
enjoyed portraying her as the beautiful
young woman she has become.

  3. Thank you CAROL and thank you DOUGLAS for commenting. You are both so kind. I truly enjoyed this class, which is so much different from painting from a photo.
