A lot of artists and musicians have been posting tutorials and videos on-line during this challenging time. It's been great to watch or join in. One bright light for me has been the
Portrait Artist of the Week event. Hosted by Sky Arts TV in the UK, there is a live sitter and one of the winners from the past Portrait Artist programs painting live on Facebook on Sunday mornings. You can join in by painting the sitter yourself then posting it with the hashtag
#mypaotw for all to see. Luckily the event is recorded, since it is 2 am here when it starts in England. I have managed to take part in 3 of the 4 painting challenges. Above is some video of my painting author
Bernardine Evaristo, below is my 4 hr stab at getting
Robert Rinder , judge and UK tv star on canvas. Fun, I get up early on Sunday's when no one else is up yet and enjoy painting along and listening to the banter (or the one-sided conversations, since the artist is busy trying to paint the subject).
