I have this model for 12 hours with a group of friends. We did two 3 hour sittings and I was pleased with the first try, but on the third pose, I began a new piece.

This is the product of an hour and a half of actual sitting, a few quick photos and dismissing the poor thing because she was not quite over her flu. With a palette full of paint I printed a few of the digital pictures and sat down for another two hours and produced this 20" x 16".

I feel very good. I am trying to get a jump on Chris Saper's workshop. I have never worked back and forth with photos and a model before. I will sketch from the photo before the next pose and see if it is easier THAT way.
