Thanks, Linda -

I used Marvin Mattelson's palette, which I already had laid out and waiting. Since I was basically dealing with four strings of colors, already in their value sets, less time was needed to make color/value decisions.

Alexandra -

I gave up on finding an open studio in my area and I hate commuting long distances, so decided to create my own. I recommend it! It's not hard to hire college students, although the first time I wanted to advertise at the local women's college, the lady in charge checked me out thoroughly. I always let prospective models know that they are not required to pose nude! So far, there is one other regular artist who attends, and every now and then a few others drift in. To me, it's worth the money, even if no-one else shows up to help defray costs.
