Steven,
You are so funny! Yes, we were all spoiled by Randy since he was such a perfect model. There were times that I went up close to look right into his eyes (which to me was very uncomfortable) so that I could get the details right, and he did not move an inch! I could swear that I had been painting his eyes for 15 minutes, and he did not even blink!
I should thank you for the detailed post that you wrote a while back about Mr. Greene's workshop. I learned a lot from your post and it had helped me a lot as to what to expect from his work shop. It was my very first workshop, and I was very 'green' about everything. I tried to familiarize myself with his way of paintings, colours etc. by watching his tapes and practising with his colour palette before arriving at the workshop. I am very glad that I did all this as preparation, as I really wanted to squeeze as much out of the workshop and learn as much from Mr. Greene as possible (and Mr. Greene is a man with very few words). Well, that was my goal!
Every day when I paint now, I make conscious effort to remind myself what I have learned from Mr. Greene. I agree with you about remembering and using what he has taught me. What he taught were the fundamentals, and I always believe that in order to succeed in anything you do, you must have a sound knowledge of all the fundamentals.
I am sure you are just being humble about not posting your work from DG's work shop. I (and everyone else on here I am sure) would love to see them!
Also, talking about posting, I realized after posted my work on here, that I have posted it under the 'seasoned professionals' section. I am not sure what happened, but I thought it said 'professionals' (and I consider myself as one
), so my apologies to all the seasoned professionals on this Forum!
And thanks Steven for the kind words about my effort at the work shop.
Sincerely,
Mai
Linear Mode
