The theme of the workshop was "Drawing and Painting from Nature -- Outside and Inside the Studio". . .
and we did just that . . .
We had some great discussions . . .
 |
| Diana taking everyone on a tour of her property, before they all started sketching |
Bill's lovely arrangements from their garden -- which we brought into the studio in the afternoon.
 |
| There was something to sketch, in every direction! |
Inside the studio, after lunch, we did some color studies.
 |
| Pat's demos |
Back into the house in the afternoon -- for wine and sharing . . .
The next morning, we were back outside for more sketching . . .
After painting in the studio all afternoon, we were ready for a glass of wine, and more discussion and sharing of paintings --
 |
| Our friend, Janice, stopped by and offered to be our "rotating easel" |
On the last day of our workshop, everyone painted in the studio all day -- and in most cases, finished one large painting. A few people were able to start and finish another one.
So much fun! See you next year, Durango!
I am extremely impressed along with your writing abilities, Thanks for this great share.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Looks like a great time!
ReplyDeleteHi Pat,
ReplyDeleteI teach high school students art and was wondering if you could recommend an easy project for my students to start off with. I was looking at the negative tree project, which looks great! Your very talented, what a great idea! Also I love the color wheel/objects project! I will probably start off with the standard color wheel, then practice gradations... Any suggestions about the process, I will appreciate! Thank you!
