Help!

Enzie,

I see you have been re-writing those notes. Way to go!!!!

Pat,

As I mentioned in my email to you, I haven't touched my portrait since the workshop. One reason is because my goal of the workshop was to learn and practice what Marvin was teaching me and not to have a finished portrait for my portfolio. Another is because the workshop was from life so to paint from a photo after having a live model in
front of me would be torture. I think you may be making it more difficult on yourself by continuing when you did so much from life.

I would find it confusing, and I am easily confused the way it is. : )

I can't wait to see what you do with your next painting.

Enzie,
Thanks for the refresher!! I wish I could take notes like you did - you were so organized and focused. I was more watching Marvin in awe, just trying to soak up what he said and did that I was less able to take good notes.

Dang, we need that book!!!

Janel,
Well, you make me feel relieved to read that you would also find it hard to go from working on your model from life to a photo ref. I had signed my painting and called her finished! On to the next project
