90 Minute Painting:Karla Pfennig

Karla was in my studio watching the movie, "Hopscotch"

My good friend Karla came over this weekend. I decided to paint her while she watched one of her favorite movies, “Hopscotch”. It was the perfect opportunity to add to my new series of paintings: Now I am asking people to pose “live” at my studio, and trying to get a likeness in 90 minutes or less. I would really like to do a lot of these, but I have lots of kinks to work out.

Hahah…I have to plug in a movie when I’m drawing people because they get so self-conscious otherwise.
