Workshop

here are 2 of the demos Carol Marine did at the workshop - so great to get back to basics and be a student again - for 3 days straight. Carol - is a terrific instructor - wise beyond her years! Great bunch of artists in the group too!! I will post links to some of them soon.

Below are some of my boards - some of them are 10 min studies.. I'm super comfortable painting my way around the human form but put an apple in front of me!! eeeek - scary!!
Soooo they were my focus during this workshop - .... Carol is THE Queen of painting apples so thought I'ld learn from the best

update

gosh its been a while since Ive made a post. Once I get into my new studio - which isnt quite ready yet - the posts will be frequent again.....cant wait!!



in the mean time .... I'm taking a workshop with fellow Daily Painter Carol Marine and my kindergarten teaching has started up again!
