I recently attended a 3-day workshop given by Richard Stephens and sponsored by Brush Strokes. It was great, as usual. Richard's demos were varied... a barn, an urban scene, and a portrait. I followed his pattern, and produced three reasonable paintings (all shown here). His portrait demo particularly captured my imagination, and motivated me to try a few additional portraits after the workshop. But it's been a struggle... so, what's new? Richard is a great teacher and painting coach, and I've learned an awful lot from him.
