Week Three with the portrait painters.  This model was a friend of Debbie's.  Actually a former student! He seemed a little nervous and tense.  Modeling is actually not easy.  One has to really concentrate on holding perfectly still with the same look for 2 1/2 hours.  Breaks every 20 mins.  But it is really a hard job!  Try sitting like this for 10 mins. without moving!  

Debbies blocking in with her underpainting.  Well actually she is taking a break!   

my painting, starting to add color on the underpainting.  I figure, why not fill the whole area with this guys head?  Less negative space to worry about!  ha

It is wild to watch Andre's progression as she paints.
