How to Start

Wendy and I just wrapped up our November workshop; How to Start/ How to Finish. Although it was a quick two day workshop, I felt as though much was accomplished. Our group was an energetic, skilled bunch of painters that were eager to try out new ideas. Such a joy! We even had two men!! A first for Wendy and I. Both were good sports, putting up with us ladies.

Hard at work!

Putting up with Marla's dj skills!

Blah, blah, blah!!

More, blah, blah, blah!!

Back at work!

I'm looking forward to having some of these kids back for the January workshop! We'll just get going right where we left off...

I'm pursuing the figurative work more deeply... I hired a great model to pose for me in the studio today and spent the whole day drawing. Great to be able to work one on one with a model and get exactly what you're looking for. It was well worth the time and investment... I'll post a few of the drawings tomorrow.
