Recent work from painting classes
In chronological order, the three photos on this post are paintings that I did in my portrait painting class with artist, Kelly Carmody. We started with value studies of plaster masks, progressed to painting a Vayum mummy, to copying a portrait by John Singer Sargent, one of my favorite American painters. I am really enjoying the challenges. I may continue to work on the Sargent during next week's class. Stay tuned.

I guess you're approaching the point in your technique when you'll begin to become bored by just copying.
Some artists are masters at copying.
Representation can become a plateau beyond which there is nothing else.
Since the birth of photography, "likeness" has lost its evident use. Picasso's portrait of Stein turned a corner, and there's no going back.
What's next?
Awesome work, Sunny! Thanks for sharing it.
Great post, Sunny! These are quite challenging and you did a wonderful job. Can't wait to see more on the Sargent!
