Thanks, Don! I had to move fast between helping my students. I do have the urge now when I work from the model to sculpt the paper with my marks... I don't feel as free to do this when someone sits for a portrait. Then I feel that I need to be more descriptive with contour lines, more illustrative, if you will. I really need to work from the model more often! It's on my To Do list...
I am an artist, an art teacher, a mother of five children, and a grandmother of four, and I live with my husband and our two cats in the woods of Woolwich, Maine. I teach drawing classes through the Continuing Studies Department at Maine College of Art in Portland, and now privately in my new (!) studio @ 72 Front Street, Bath. My blog 'Martha Miller' shares my art, my process, and my inspirations, and my blog 'Not Bad Thing' showcases my daughter Lisbeth's artwork and process. It is also where I share my experience as a mother of an adult child with special needs. You can see more of my artwork on my website @ www.marthamiller.com

Fantastic! Love the selective color and the energy of the hatch marks.
Hi Indiaartist
(Wouldn't I love to do YOUR portrait - you are gorgeous!!) I love the rich colors you use in your paintings - delightful!
