Hi Sharon,
I couldn't agree with you more! Drawing from life is such a joy. Drawing from photos makes me frustrated. I did have a class a while back where the teacher did a whole lecture on tracing photos (showed his own tracings even), I was shocked, still am, big, big name.

Is that true???
I am under the impression that most of the SOG members have learned to draw from life. That is the advice I took very, very seriously (from here) and arranged my training to follow.
Thanks,
Donna
