The above is a photo of Kathy's painting! "By jove, she got it!!!!" Thursday through Saturday was the Steve Blackburn workshop. I had taken my overhead mirror but, much to my horror, discovered that the ceiling was not high enough for it to be used. However, Steve, the “un”-temperamental artist, was just fine with it, and everything worked out since we were a small group.
Following the evening demo, two full days of information was packed into our tiny artist brains!!! Don’t know about everyone else, but I was EXHAUSTED by Saturday evening! It’s a lot to take in – pouring miskit and paint, composition, drawing, unity, new support, negative painting – but I think we “got it” judging from the paintings I saw completed. Just about everyone had one completed painting and one started which they can complete at home utilizing the skills just learned.
I heard favorable comments and think that everyone learned something, had a good time, and perhaps made a new friend!
My thanks to Steve and Anne! And a super special thanks to Sonya and Sharon!
Here are some photos from the workshop.

Wow! These are beautiful, so bold--but where're yours??
It looks like miskit is splashed across the paper randomly ... is that right?
Something like that!!!
Got one sort of done, another that I plan to continue - I can post them later (after MUCH work is done on them or they are redone!)
Everybody's work looks great! I am so glad that all went well and everyone learned a lot. I hope you patted yourself on the back for a successful weekend!
Steve's a wonderful artist, and the photos tell what a successful time everyone had. So glad he was here again. Looks like a really good workshop with beautiful results.
I think most were pleased with their work and appreciated the learning experience!
Yep, Steve is a good artist - and I heard no whining during the workshop!!!
Well, if the students can create such great work in just a few days of an intense learning experience, they must really have been soaking up the info. Great paintings! Want to see your painting when you have it ready to unveil :)
