Dear Patty,

It was truly my pleasure to meet you, and I am so glad you took this class!

As it turned out, this probably could have been a juried master class, as so many of the students painted at a skilled, professional level. Patty, one of the other students said your painting was "Stunning" and she's right.

This class was a 3-day version of "The Best of Both Worlds", beginning from life day 1, working from photos day 2, and finishing from life day 3. Part of the goal for this class was the understanding of the differences in painting from life and from photos, and why it is important to work regularly from life. But it also shows students how to get and interpret excellent photo resources. We dealt with color temperature a great deal, and had one model in a warm light, and one in a cool light.

We had two FABULOUS models - Patty and Carol were two of the students who painted Fil, a Hopi Native American. Fil has a beautiful sturctured face, and wore his traditional Hopi Ribbon shirt, which is the dress shirt of the Hopis, made by his grandmother. He also wore the ceremonial/traditional bracelets, arm bands and necklaces of his tribe.

Our other model was the lovely Mischa, whom I 've painted in the Mountain Artists' Guild Open Studio before.

Here are some of the students and their work.
