I hate taking progress photos. Mostly due to my own insecurity in my abilities, but I feel like it's always awful.
The wonderful thing about this group is that there are all levels of artists and everyone else is posting progress pictures - some are always excellent and some were like mine and had issues. It has been one of the best painting experiences I have ever had.
So here is the progress of my model.

I am very pleased with my completed model and here is the reference photo that I used. I feel that I really got close to this color.
I am so grateful for this experience and I hope they do it next year too!
