Beth dear,
I was delighted to read your post and I hope others will believe what you said about working from life. The experience was really worthwhile, wasn't it. Robert Liberace is a singularly gifted artist and I would recommend that everybody practice hard and then take a workshop or class from him. Indeed, follow him around for years!
Notice how so many of the greats are also great human beings too? I guess it's because they have nothing to prove. Seems to be a correlation: the better they are, the nicer they are.
When taking a Liberace workshop, I encourage everybody to do exactly what he says. All his information is good and it will only add to your own personal hoard of knowledge and experience.
Bill
