Per-Conference Workshop

In April I went to the annual conference of the Portrait Society of America, this year in Atlanta, GA. I had a wonderful time!

I took an all-day pre-conference workshop with Louis Carr, on preparing for painting by doing color studies. He was a great teacher, starting with a fascinating talk on human perception and the illusions of color.

All 30 people in the class painted color studies under his direction, from small photos of other paintings, just trying to match their shapes and colors.
