Hi, my name is Jennifer Bogartz
 

What a wonderful forum! Thank you for allowing me to participate on the forum, I have been lurking for a while. I'm very interested in improving my skills and would appreciate any feedback I can get. Here is a sample of my work, I prefer to work from life. The painting is oil on cardboard, 18 x 24.

Hello Jennifer, and welcome! :)

Hi Michael, nice to meet you.

Hi Jennifer,

I like this piece a lot. It's unique and the draftsmanship is very confidant. I'm new to the forum, too and I also like to work from life and love my weekly life drawing group. I'm starting to use some photo reference to complete works after 2 or 3 sittings or to assist in between sittings on portraits.
I'd love to see more of your work!

Hi Celia! Thank you for your comment about my work. I noticed on your website that you have a lot of plein air paintings, they're very good. I like to go plein air painting, but don't go very often because it rains about 6 months out of the year where I live.

Hi Jennifer, welcome to the forum! I am new as well on the forum Isn't it just wonderful?!
The painting is really beautiful!
