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.

    Really amazing work! It’s so hard to get a face right live against the clock. It’s beautiful – bravo!

      Thank you!

      And you’re totally right! Looking at a photograph isn’t bad particularly if it’s digital and I can zoom all the way in and sample colors if I get stuck. Live I just need to get good 😂
