Portraiture is not something they are familiar with, so I am showing them examples and they are beginning to enjoy this. The parents are very open to trusting my vision. I did only show them about four poses that I knew I could paint (I look over 200 pictures!). In the end I think they will be fun to work with and I believe they will even allow me to have each child sit for me in my studio, after school lets out, so that I can do a color study in the same light as the pictures were taken in - I'm very excited about this.
