During the Sarasota Allan Banks workshop, several things clicked for me. First off, returning home, I looked at all old work and feel it should be run through the shredder. I think this is a very important point of awareness for a pt pro, serious amateur, whatever label you choose for this "no-man's-land" stage of development.
During the three day workshop, we painted from two different models, one in the morning and one after the lunch break. I did really like this format for a couple of reasons: first off, your eyes are blown out after focusing on one model for three hours. The lunch break, combined with a different perspective and a different model to look at really allows you to continue with fresh eyes. It allows you to see again. Secondly, it feels like you've accomplished something: at the end of three days, you have two studies.
First post is the morning model, painter
Holly Hope Banks, who is in fact represented on this site. I will go back into this painting because of her luscious fleshtones; I couldn't nail them given all the other things I was focused on.
