At the end of the live model painting session the model came around and looked at everyone’s rendition of the 40 minute pose. When she saw mine she squealed and gasped “Looks just like me!” Dude, I almost cried. I did tippy taps all the way home and woke my wife up to tell her I was so excited!

The title image is the 40 minute pose.

    Thanks for explaining, as a digital artist I always feel out of place in these situations and I never know where to put my stuff or how to work alongside all the analog artists. Sometimes I just sit on the floor, with everyone else, towering (almost tripping) over me, standing by their easels. Very out of place.

      That’s pretty much how it is for me. When I started I was so far behind the other artists ability, now there are only two artists I feel are ahead of me. Oddly that makes me feel legitimate, like I belong.

      To be fair, Craig, who owns the space has been completely welcoming and encouraging the whole time and so has every artist I’ve talked to there. It’s my own insecurities.
