Back to Teaching!

It felt so good to be back teaching a two day 

"Intuitive Painting"workshop
at North River Arts Society this weekend.
I love that place.

It was a large group of mixed level painters,

so we attacked the basics on Day One.

Three Value Plan
Value to Color

Day Two:

Pattern Painting

We set up a large, busy, still life 

and everyone brought it objects.

We worked on zooming in with our I phones or I pads

to learn how to focus on shapes and colors. 

(No light and shadow) 

My demo

student work 

(she zoomed in on a pinecone and greenery 

in the orchid pot) 

I was so excited about the amazing work that was being created,  

I didn't get any other images.  

I'm newly inspired by the incredible

 sense of community

 and sharing of ideas

that happen during workshops.

Great work everyone.

It was a terrific weekend!
