Ooh, beautiful piece Bill!
What a great idea! Heads are THE most difficult to do and I always find I need more experience.
On the 30th of July, at a charity fundraiser, I am doing sketches at $15 a pop. I cannot think of a better way to get free models and contribute to the community.

Bill, it's always a treat to see your work. And even more helpful to read your comments on professionalism and elevating one's skills. Thanks a heap.

Well that's just inspiring!! What a treat indeed to see... I must say I get a truly wonderful sense of the grace of this very lovely sitter. Her mother must feel like she won the lottery!
Your words are equally motivating too - bring on the next 50 years I say;-)
All the best,
Mary Jane

Bill, these are great suggestions. And I love your head study, especially the way you've played up her unusual eyes.

Yes, yes.
It really doesn't matter how well your life studies turn out, it's all in the process.
I am seriously considering how I can become your neighbor.

Tomorrow I am headed off to a charity event, a pet project of my own.
It is to save a watershed from yet another Big Box development. The fund raiser is in the form of a country fair. I will be doing charcoal portrait sketches at $15 a pop.
My husband asked, why on earth would I do something like that. I said that I was getting a whole day of free models! Talk about constant practice!
The discussion here on free models gave me the idea.
