Steven,

You are so funny! Yes, we were all spoiled by Randy since he was such a perfect model. There were times that I went up close to look right into his eyes (which to me was very uncomfortable) so that I could get the details right, and he did not move an inch! I could swear that I had been painting his eyes for 15 minutes, and he did not even blink!

I should thank you for the detailed post that you wrote a while back about Mr. Greene's workshop. I learned a lot from your post and it had helped me a lot as to what to expect from his work shop. It was my very first workshop, and I was very 'green' about everything. I tried to familiarize myself with his way of paintings, colours etc. by watching his tapes and practising with his colour palette before arriving at the workshop. I am very glad that I did all this as preparation, as I really wanted to squeeze as much out of the workshop and learn as much from Mr. Greene as possible (and Mr. Greene is a man with very few words). Well, that was my goal!

Every day when I paint now, I make conscious effort to remind myself what I have learned from Mr. Greene. I agree with you about remembering and using what he has taught me. What he taught were the fundamentals, and I always believe that in order to succeed in anything you do, you must have a sound knowledge of all the fundamentals.

I am sure you are just being humble about not posting your work from DG's work shop. I (and everyone else on here I am sure) would love to see them!

Also, talking about posting, I realized after posted my work on here, that I have posted it under the 'seasoned professionals' section. I am not sure what happened, but I thought it said 'professionals' (and I consider myself as one :) ), so my apologies to all the seasoned professionals on this Forum!

And thanks Steven for the kind words about my effort at the work shop.

Sincerely,
Mai
