I usually shoot under my studio lights because I usually finish late at night and I want to quickly post and go to bed. But the idea for taking photos outside is a good one.<br /><br />A. - you should definitely try it. Being afraid is a common ailment among artists something you live with. Try it and let me know how you did.<br /><br />WR/Lisa- Thanks.

A very honest portrait. The way the light strikes the neck reminds me of Rembrandt.<br /><br />LizzyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326301.post-78621445642062691012009-05-03T20:38:00.000-06:002009-05-03T20:38:00.000-06:00The painting is done so well even a double chin lo...The painting is done so well even a double chin looks good.http://www.onpainting.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686317908010461627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326301.post-61109237513800347862009-05-03T15:57:00.000-06:002009-05-03T15:57:00.000-06:00That's quite a challenge.
