Nice job, but you must be kicking yourself that you did it on a warped piece of canvas board...it certainly deserved better.
I remember those life classes when I actually did a decent drawing - but on a piece of crummy old ripped newsprint. Dang.

Oh, Karin, if you only knew!
Not that this Forum generally is in need of "tips", but the day I invested in a roll of pre-primed canvas, my life changed!
Whether I tape it to a board or just quickly staple it on bars, for open studio it is so much easier to carry, as flexible as a paper drawing, so far as resizing a bit; the appearance of canvas is nothing like the art board stuff they call canvas board, and I believe in the long run I really saved money.
Another great open studio trick I do is take scraps and tape all of my odd size pieces on a large piece of masonite or two and for short poses I can do really nice speed sketching and come up with very interesting color or value studies.
Yeah, I am bored with board... he he he.

Selected for St. Louis show
I am bringing this to the top, because I just got a letter from the St. Louis Artist's Guild, that it has been accepted (ALONG with my painting of Pirate Ted, which got me a finalist in The Artist's Magazine this year) for their show "Face It: Portraiture".
Paul Levielle was the juror. I was quite surprised, opening the envelope finding only ONE of three submitted slides.
It is very exciting for me and the challenge of crating and shipping is rather new. I hope it is the hardest part. And of course, the suspense until the show.
