Last week I attended Carol Marine's 5 day workshop at San Francisco - Capturing People and Places, organized by the Sedona Art Center. It was more like a soothing vacation of sorts - filled with fun, food and of course a lot of painting and wandering in the streets of the quirky city! Not to mention all of the great fellow artists I got to meet at the workshop - the painterly energy around the room served as a tremendous boost to my own momentum.
Through the course of the workshop, I realized that the confidence of 'being able to paint' and 'tackle any subject' exponentially explodes when you paint, paint and just paint. It was an intense week of talking, learning, making friends, eating and of course continuous painting, and a thoroughly enjoyable first workshop experience for me. I completed six small and simple paintings from photos that we got from our wanderings in the city. I will be posting them to the blog soon. Above is Carol doing her magic, the first demo of the week!
