[Ilaria Rosselli Del Turco]

Hi to everyone.
These are two paintings done in my school's open studio program, they are the outcome of a few sittings, not only one, but I think they reflect that open studio atmosphere.

What disturbs me and excites me about painting open studio models are what they are wearing. They are always in the most dirty t-shirt or with eccentric outfits, at least here in London. The result is that potential client that want to view your painting 'outside' can never really identify themselves and see how they would look.

At the same time the feedback from the tutor and from fellow painter is so important that it is always worth spending a couple of mornings painting live.
