Description
I learn so much by painting from life. I asked my family members if anyone would like to pose for me and no one wanted to sit still for hours. So here I go again.
I had hard time on last portrait because I painted in my bedroom upstairs under natural light. The problem was the shadow kept moving.
This time I decided to position myself directly under ceiling light. It gets less hot than spot light and I liked the cool light.

Becky, great (and the same problems I have with painting family members from life - most of the time I have to pay models for sitting.) - VF - Dagmar
