Gladys,
Have just finished re-reading last weeks handout. What a great lesson!His comments on Hawthorne made me re-read the little book Hawthorne On Painting.I found the section on painting the model outdoors especially intriguing.Is it possible to have a model pose outdoors? I know she would have to be hearty in all this heat.
This workshop is a super learning experience.
