Tim:

One very important thing about painting from life is the size of the studio. Clearly, you had some room to place your model on a stand, light her, and still get far enough back so you could see and paint the full figure.

Can you talk a little about studio size and what sizes you feel are optimal for painting from life?

Also, was the bird alive or just stuffed?

And,

How long did you do your painting sessions?
