I am very glad that I was able to attend the Portrait Society of America's 20th Anniversary Conference held in Reston VA, this year. It was my first time attending this conference and I learned soooooo much! Also met so many talented and friendly artists. Had wanted to attend for quite a while but was still not real sure of myself. I liked it so much, I hope to attend again when they come back to the area! Will post in the next few days about what I learned! Thx for looking!
