Painting progress as of today

Feel free to skip if you don't want to see things in mid paint :) :)

So the Vermeer has moved to the next stage, and the Caravaggio has been begun. It's the first time I'm using full Renaissance technique, so - as much to aid my failing memory as anything - details and further pics under the cut.

I lucked into this one - he's quite a demanding teacher, but I sure am learning a lot. I've had one hopeless class in the past, and this is so different. You can never tell, though, except if you know gossip from the other students, which is difficult when you don't know people in the local art community :(

Hhhmmm, I have no idea whether this is feasible for you, but one of the colleges I go to has online classes, and the portrait teacher is supposed to be quite good. I much prefer real life classes myself, since the being there is what makes me work; but I'm considering her for next semester. Obviously your fees would be higher, not being a California resident :( Say.... $600 range, at a rough guess? I assume that's more than you would pay locally, but thought I would mention it anyway. If it turns up on the schedule for next semester, I'll mail you the details.

I'll send it if they offer the class next semester - schedule should be out in a month or so.
