Well, first meeting down. She chose a soft white t-shirt that picks up and reflects light beautifully. All we really did was talk, while I looked, watched the light, colors, reflections. You're right Michael, north light is a beautiful thing. I took some pictures to compare what I saw from life with what the camera did. The difference was astounding. Hair, skin tones, fabric folds, EVERYTHING was sharper and oranger in the photo than in reality. She felt that she photographed horribly and it was easy to see why. Her features are very strong and the camera accentuates them. In reality those same strong features are riveting and exciting, but SO much softer. I'm very lucky to have her next door.
Chris, I am going to use your suggestion today and ask her what she feels are her best features. At first, I'm sure she would have said none, but she's getting a little looser after yesterday!
If this darn back brace permits, I'm going to try sketching today. William's demo on NuPastel drawing has inspired me.
