This was the last pose of Zhaoming Wu's workshop. As usual, numbers were drawn and we all took our places. As luck would have it, I chose the worst possible spot. No, really. It was the worst spot! I determined that it was a learning experience and that I just had to make do. Zhaoming asked if I wanted to move since several of our group left earlier in the day. So, move I did but, it took forever to get started because I knew we had precious little time remaining. I wiped the drawing off four times. I just couldn't let my last painting be the worst and decided better no painting than a bad one. Once we returned from break we had a little over 2 hours to paint. So, as you can see, it needed more refining but, I will leave it as is. A workshop is a place to learn and, over all, I am very pleased with the result.
This sweet model is Amy, the daughter of one of the other artists in the workshop. She did a great job!

Lovely piece my dear, isn't Amy a doll, I'm assuming we are talking Ellen's daughter. I've painted her several times, it's always a blast.
Thank you, Margo. Yes, that is Ellen's daughter. She is a cute little thing!
It might be unfinished, but it is still lovely. Again, your drawing is excellent! I love her hair, and the strokes of green in the cloth. Lovely color palette.
Thank you, Virginia. Now, if I can keep up the momentum!
Keep painting figures, you're doing a wonderful job! And ditto with what Virginia said.
Thank you, Johanne. I am absolutely loving figurative work! I read that you will soon be leaving us. I am so glad to have gotten to know you and wish you all the best!
Same here Gaye. Hope we keep in touch (at least) through blogs & FB. Keep painting!
Let's make a point of it. I enjoy following your work and wish you all the best!!!
We'll do... All the best to you too!
