July 7, 2023 Today was the 7th. I started painting the night after I arrived here on the 4th, and never stepped out of the L'Arc Hotel during the day. From 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., I painted for nearly ten hours every day, except for lunch and dinner. On the first day, I painted two, the security guard and the dealer. The dealer was an elderly man. I had a difficult time painting him and was exhausted. The next day, I painted three. Painting the hand of that strong man in black was killing me. I spent the whole night working on it. On the third day, I painted two beautiful girls, which was easy. The advantage of painting people in small groups is that you can compare everyone's skin tones and make them different from each other. I'll touch up the background tomorrow.
