Vincent,
Welcome.
Your work is remarkable considering the time restraints of a workshop.
It is really well worth the effort to work from life as much as possible.
Even tho' I had done a lot of work from life as a young artist, I started my portrait portfolio from photographs.
Fortunately I live in RI, so I could go to see the Sargents, Copleys and Gainsboroughs, etc. in The Boston Museum of Fine Art. It was an eye opener. My work looked dull and lifeless in comparison. From then on I decided to do as much work from life as possible. It was difficult and aggravating, but I have never regretted it.
I look forward to seeing more of your work.
