In August I'm teaching a workshop at The Artisan Depot on drawing a realistic portrait from a photo. (It's free but limited to 6 people.) I hope it will be a confidence builder for people who may have some kind of art practice but don't think they can do realism. This is the project: we'll be drawing from David Bowie's mugshot. I need to practice doing it bigger so I can demonstrate in front of a classroom.

SOLD! "It's a well known fact that sometimes the instructions are wrong (garlic cloves)" to a lady from my hometown of Huntsville whose love of garlic included a cautionary tale that ended with her lack of regrets. I swore to say no more 😁

Done! You know you're on dangerous ground when you look at the painting and think "yeah it's pretty much done....um, it'll look better after I varnish it." But I was right. Varnish made the tomatoes pop. First coat drying -

It might happen - I might get these done in time to deliver to the gallery with the rest of the show. Last night my husband said, "You should stay home tomorrow. You need rest." As if not going to the studio automatically equals "getting rest" and not "anxiously failing to accomplish all the boring stuff I need to do." 😆

It's starting to come together. I'm trying to get this finished in time for the Wi******er Art Walk. We're still at the "this is gonna be so cool!" phase of the project. It will be done a few hours after I get really annoyed with the color brown.

There's only one place where blueberries exist and I just think that should figure into how we value them.

Happy Saturday! Why do I have gesso on my face? And how did I get it under my glasses without getting it on my glasses? Mysteries of the art studio...
