Hi, I haven't been here in a long time. I've been doing alot of reading, watching videos, painting other subjects, until at last I had the chance to sign up for a local figure drawing session with live models. This was held at the local community center and the models were children. Toward the end of the course we switched to portraits during the second half of the afternoon. The facilitator didn't "do" portraits but knew that I was there for the live model experience, so her input was minimal,(in fact her only input on this was that she liked this one the best) which is why I wanted to post the best of the four pastels I did here, since I'm currently unable to attend any workshops and want to know how I'm doing.
Even after reading Chris Saper's book (along with countless others) and watching Daniel Greene's videos I felt like when I was finally presented with the real life situation, everything was so much harder to grasp, so I'm hoping I'll overcome this floundering feeling!Any advice in this area would be greatly appreciated!
