Thanks everyone for you input.
This young man would be a great standing figure, but Sharon, can you help me with two things?
1. In a thread under
"modeling stands" I addressed the problems I have working on stand up figures; I am concerned I am making it out to be a bigger problem for me than it is.
2. What size canvas do you use when doing oils? I know you do life-size with pastel on panel, but to do a full figure in oil, what is a good size for someone at my level? I find it difficult to work really small, especially on faces.
