portrait demonstrations

Today I was invited to a local Art Society open day to draw portrait demonstrations.
Although it's one of the most difficult ways to draw a portrait, it is also the best practice! It makes me draw fast, which makes me more accurate (I don't have time to think).
It's also good practice to 'tune out' whatever distractions are going on around me
I can usually persuade someone to sit for 10 minutes. I always wish for more time! I love to be able to do justice to the person.
These are some of the other artists that agreed to sit for me. They liked them.... and two bought them!
