Zachary, Daniel Greene's class

[Chris Saper]

Oil, 20" x 16".

The format Daniel Greene used in class was as follows: the first morning, students were called alphabetically to select a pre-established easel position for each morning session, same model, same pose, all week. Likewise for the afternoon, except that they were called in reverse order. I got the very last morning easel position. Straight profile, full frontal lighting, no shadow pattern on the face.

My guess is about seven hours painting time. I wish I would have had several more hours to keep going on this.

I can't recall a painting I learned more doing, worked harder on, or enjoyed more.
