Mary Whyte is known for her stunning portraits and she is sharing her process with the students in this workshop.

Today is day 2 of portrait work. The day starts with a quick demo by Mary and then the class spends the rest of the day working on their own portraits while Mary circulates around the class offering guidance and advice as needed.

There are two models in the class room with the students spread out around them. One of the models is one of our waitresses, Megan.

Megan says this is the first time she has ever worn a hat!

The other model for the day was Bonita. This is her first modeling experience but she says she is enjoying it very much!

How quickly the week has passed! Tomorrow is the last day of the workshop. During the first half of the day, everyone will get to choose their favorite subject matter – still life, landscape, or portrait, and work on a painting. Then in the afternoon, the group will gather for a critique.
