Dear Subscribers,
Greetings and Happy New Year!
Firstly...
For those interested in painting with me, a last minute spot has opened
up in the first workshop of the year. It will be a great time of
composing and painting still life with a small group (8 students). I
prefer the small group because it suites my style of going in-depth
with each person. This is the size of workshop I always wanted to take!
I've been to a handful of good workshops but they were always crowded
which made for a more demo-focused class. Many of you know what I'm
talking about ... you only get to talk with the instructor a precious
few times. Everyone has their own set of skills and their own set of
problems, so more time with the teacher is much more
awesome....especially when it comes to composition. Happily, a bunch of
my previous students agree(workshop testimonials here
).

That color around the creamer...Around here is the tipping point, when
I know the painting will work out. (as described in Episode 7 of
