I completed this portrait from life at the Jepson Center for the Arts. Eleven of us artists hired a live model four times a year. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get close enough to see details but it was great experience.
Traditional Impressionist

Great portrait! I am jealous of your experience.
I have seen some artists invest in a kind of binocular (or monocular) device to see the close-up details.
