This was as far as I was able to complete the painting for the demo last night. I think the stress of being videoed and having less than an hour to work, got to me. I was able to share some new materials and some different ways of working on the Tyvek paper, but overall, I was not very happy with this painting. Still, it was fun meeting everyone and sharing my enthusiasm for art. Everyone was complimentary and said they enjoyed the evening. I appreciated their warm hospitality.

Myrna, You are too rough on yourself! If I were closer I would love to attend one of your demos.
Not a disaster at all! The point is, you were able to share ideas about technique in a very short period of time. I'll bet they learned a LOT!
I can't imagine working that fast. I think the painting is wonderful.
Wish I could paint as well as your disasters, Myrna. You are a terrific teacher and I can't wait to attend another workshop. I'm sure the people at the demo got a lot of great information in a very short time.
You did good, Myrna! You expect too much of yourself in an hour-long demo!

It doesn't look at all like a disaster to me. Maybe you know much more than I do, but if I could do that painting (in double the time), I would be pleased with my Self.
I clicked to comment and see several already in the direction I'm headed.
I think you're being too hard on yourself, Myrna! I'll be thrilled when I can do a portrait this well.
I did awesome, artistically and all.
Ditto everyone else. I like it.
wow..this one is lovely..so free and full of character...
you are much too hard on yourself ... it may not be what you had in mind but it looks great and I would have loved to have been there to see you work!
I, too, say "ditto". I wish I could have been there to hear all your tips about painting on Tyvek. I think it's great, I can't imaging doing that in an hour, plus engaging an audience with painting tips.
Far from a disaster that's for sure. I'm interested in knowing why you painted on Tyvek?
I paint on Tyvek and then put a hot iron to it which makes it shrink up and get bubbly for use as a collage material. You surely wouldn't want to do that to a portrait, so why the Tyvek?
Thanks, Carol
Regardless of this being finished or not, I think it looks great! You're a terrific talent.
