2012 Portrait Society Conference


I attended the three-day annual Portrait Society Conference, which was held in Philadelphia over the Memorial Day weekend. This photograph was taken the first evening during 'Paint-Off.' I attended this session, one of five in progress, where three artists demonstrated their painting techniques to produce portraits of a model. If you look closely at right edge of the back row, I’m the one with white hair wearing a white shirt.


The Portrait Society runs very professional conferences. Over the years I have learned much from the faculty, comprised of world-class professional portrait painters.

Now I’m ready to start sketching!
