Jean,
I cannot believe what a positive difference it made for me, jumping into painting from life.
Years and years ago, I thought working from a photograph was just fine. Fortunately I am near the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Looking at the 17th, 18th and 19th masters disabused me of that idea. I could not understand why their figures were so luminous and fresh compared to mine.
Actually, I find it much easier and faster to paint from life. You will surprise yourself.
Today college students are desperate for money. They would appreciate a nice safe gig like yours!
