LEAH HOPKINS HENRY SEMINAR

I just attended an evening seminar with Leah Hopkins Henry a noted Atlanta and Southeastern portraitist/painter. It was a brief seminar on staging, blocking in and formating still life's. She is a very skillful and interesting artist, originally from Rome, GA who gave very specific but usable tutelage. The pastel here is my first ever attempt at a quick sketch-in still life in pastels. For a one hour effort, it is interesting for several reasons, if not for the most important one, i.e. it has shown me that there is fun to be had in setting up and sketching a still life! Not marketable, but a good way to train the eye. (image copyright 2009 C. Gregory Price)
