I got in touch with artist Anne Enoch today about the painting from life group, and went to my first session tonight. We had a 13 year old boy (son of another artist) modeling for the group. It was great! Got to meet a lot of artists, including artist Glenda Brown whose work I've admired for quite some time now. It was very different painting from life. For one thing, I couldn't see very well! Haha! I wanted to walk up closer to him to see if I could actually see his eyes, but couldn't make my way through the easels, so next week I plan to get there earlier and stake out a spot closer to the model.
It was also a little intense because we had so little time to complete the painting, so I slapped the paint on the canvas as fast as I could. I used a 12x16 panel.
