| Demo by Robert Liberace and Rose Frantzen on big screen |
The final day of the conference, there was a panel discussion with a number of distinguished painters, including
Wende Caporale (who acted as moderator),
Daniel Greene, Burton Silverman, Everett Raymond Kinstler, Rhoda Sherbell and
Mary Whyte.
I especially enjoyed Daniel Greene's account of dealing with clients and Wende's comment that she had never heard him speak so much (after she, unfortunately, had to cut him off in order to get to the next speaker). It was also a lot of fun to hear Mr. Kinstler talk about his experience working with Katharine Hepburn (hint: she drove him crazy!) and how things worked out in the end!

| I love the stance Rose takes when painting, very assertive! |
The final demo was by
Rose Frantzen and
Robert Liberace, both amazing painters. James Gurney was also busy to the right of the stage, capturing the artists as they worked!
A few painting notes:
- Rose said that she wants to try all the ways to back the cake so is open to many ways of painting.
- Robert used the handle of his brush to scratch out details like the eyebrow hairs, which I thought was a nifty trick.

The Start

On a final note, the conference next year is going to be in Atlanta from April 30 - May 3, 2015! I would strongly encourage any figurative or portrait artists out there to make plans to attend and get inspired!
