Kristian Nee interviews me about my career, and what I think it takes to learn painting well.

Also it was easier to sit here and watch this interview instead of mixing my next set of skin tones. Lol

Great interview — thank you! I agree that it would be so helpful to see a course demonstrating different starting methods according to the total time allotment for a given sketch or painting. Also could relate to the endlessly taking classes instead of moving forward into real life art challenges. It’s easier and more fun to take a class; taking on a commission for a client is challenging and often not fun. But I have probably learned more from the latter because I am forced to put every skill into practice and be a “professional.’

Hello Morgan, I tried a bit of choppier look with this one (after your comments about calligraphy of strokes) and tried to get a bit looser rather than smoothed out. Such a great fun photo to paint. Thank you!

Good job! Some of your areas are a little out of value but overall you have it. See if you can find any halftones that might be too dark. and find any reflected lights that might be too light.
