We will put in one more session on 2.6 on Tuesday, Apr 19, then the folio is due the following class (Thurs, Apr 21).

Beginning Painting:
Make significant progress on your 2.3 Self-Portrait homework assignment. You will bring this work in on Tuesday, April 19, and we will discuss your work in progress. Remember, this can be done using a direct or indirect method - your choice. It should however be observed by looking at a mirror and painted from life. We will continue work on our head study of Erica that Tuesday as well.
