Carlo on Canvas

Dear Imaginary Friends,

About 20 years ago, I painted Carlo in person, over a span of nine hours. He leaned against the doorway for three hours at a stretch, while I painted him as quickly as I could.

Back then, he had a beard. In fact, I never saw him beardless until he turned forty. His bearded self now hangs in the library.

Your Imaginary Portrait Painter,

Rob Liberace Paints from the Model

Dear Imaginary Art Students,

Here, Rob Liberace is seen teaching at the Art League, painting a full portrait, directly from life, as the model poses. This whole oil painting has been done using only a few pigment colors.

Amazing, huh?

Your Imaginary Friend,

Patsie
