#87 "1st pose in marc chatov workshop"

18x24 oil....this was the first painting challenge of a 3 day workshop with marc chatov....this was probably the most difficult art workshop i have ever attempted.....i was very nervous and had a hard time grasping the whole concept of his approach in the beginning....this painting was not finished, but i was some what pleased with the colors...... did not get a good likeness of the model and the head seems a bit too large for the body, but i think i can work on that....... marc was a wonderful instructor..... i feel that i really walked away with a new sense of seeing color and mass.....really enjoyed all of the other artist and learned from seeing all of the different ways they handled the same subject..............2nd pose below
