I did exactly what Linda is recommending for two summers when I was in college. (I was paid for it by a company who had all the necessary permits etc. but otherwise the idea was the same.) Over those two summers I must have done 500 full color pastel portraits from life, in less than an hour each. What great training and experience. It made me fearless about tackling anything and doing it in front of a crowd, too. I highly recommend it, even if it's done for free. Where else can you get models lining up out the door for your work?
