Marly

Such a pretty name for a very pretty wowan. She was difficult to paint and many of us wrestled with our paintings of her.

Sara

Instead of a traditional portrait sitting we had a 3 hour nude pose instead. Which was great because I haven't tackled that since college and nothing beats working on flesh tones to improve your painting skills.
Still couldn't resist banging out a portrait :)
You can see the rest of her HERE

Nico

Hank

some times you just have to mix it up :)

Brian

Brian treated our painting group to a song on guitar - talented guy, such a gift to get some live music along with the painting. loved it.

Tasha

10x10 oil on panel
Tasha - with piercings (eye brow and lower lip)
after this, I had more time on the clock and painted THIS

RJ

10x10" oil on panel.
RJ did a really good job sitting the other night - everyone in the group did a great portrait of him.
Personally, I found him super easy to paint - maybe it was the cup of coffee I had, but I breezed through this one. Totally loving the hoodie.
Nothing beats painting from a live model - especially in a group setting. I'ld like to do more of it - which is why I want to host an open portrait painting session in my space one night a week - locals contact me if you are interested!
