FINE ART PAINTER
I love working from life. Seeing the effect of light is exciting. Connecting with the moment and reacting to it is my favorite way to paint. When I am painting in my studio with a photo reference, I try to work quickly and reactively as if I were actually working from life.
Everything is practice.
