Hello back Lacey.
Lucky for you that you're not in Arizona. I know a lot of folks who would draft you for a workshop portrait painting subject so fast! You have that "stepped right out of a painting" countenance.

You have a fine website and a great future. Paint on!

Garth and everybody, a good backdrop or studio wall color is indeed very important, but there can be a great deal of personal variety. Both Chris's and Linda Brandon's studio walls are wonderful.

Just remember that white walls destroy shadows and shadows are what we need to create proper form on canvas.

If you are going to paint a wall or a backdrop for photography, keep your color lighter than the color you'd use if you were painting from life. My studio walls are rich and dark. Wonderful!
