Hi Everyone,
This past friday I gave a three hour live portrait demo at the studio of an artist (Michael Holter) near where I live. He gave me a call a couple weeks ago and asked if I could do a demo for the local "art walk" so I agreed...I had never done one before. I had my wife model for me so I could be sure the model would stay still.
I don't really paint in public very often (apart from my students over my shoulder) so this was really fun. I ended up on the front page of the paper as well this past Saturday which was cool.
I am not the most attractive man. My wife, however, is very beautiful...so naturally the photographer kept my mug out of the picture. I can't tell you how many people said to me, "You have such a beautiful model". I was just trying not to mess up her face.
For all who are interested you can click below to see the newspaper article. It's nothing big just to warn you.
