Michael Malm Oil Painting Workshop

I am taking a five day portrait workshop with Michael Malm this week. He is a great teacher and so far I have learned that I need to watch the temperature in my shadows and to pay more attention to my edges. The class is full! Mike says there are four main things to consider when painting from life.
1) The shapes
2) The values
3) The edges
4) The color

The first day we all worked from the same photograph. Here is what I came up with., Everyone did pretty well with that exercise.

Third Day of the Carducci Workshop


Our model was a woman named Pat, who had a charming smile. I was lucky to sell this to one of her friends who was taking the workshop. She was going to gift it to her so I gave her a good price.
