I really value your input! I have been thinking for a year that I should paint from life but have just been too chicken to do it. There's so much of a feeling of safety in working from a photo. That really is a false sense, however, and I wish that I had started this sooner. I am just SO grateful to have discovered this "new" learning tool.

The more I learn about the art of portraiture, the more I realize I have to learn!

Cheers
