I envy you Richard! I would LOVE to take a workshop with Chris Saper, even if it's for just one day. For me, it would most definitely be "grueling" (in the best sense of the word
) because I have so much to learn. It would take all my courage and concentration.
Hear's an example of what I mean by, "I have so much to learn": What does, Prud'hon mean, and how is it used in painting?
Richard, I'm sure that Chris is right about the scan not doing justice to this moody and powerful rendering. Do you feel as if you gained greater understanding about portraiture after the day was done?
