Wow, what an honor... I started reading your post and thought, "Oh, I can't wait to see who she's picked so I can check them out..." What a pleasant surprise to see my name. I love your other picks... very unique, and some that I hadn't seen. Thanks so much Robin for being so encouraging. I appreciate you! :)

Schedule a Workshop for your group

Painting Your Vision Workshop No matter what level is current in your oil painting, its time to step up to the next level. This workshop is designed to add interest in texture and design, emphasize brushwork and edges, and explore new additions to paint techniques. We do this by using traditional methods of direct or alla prima painting, which simply means all we can accomplish in a session using rich paint to make sophisticated edges. We will explore different surfaces that affect the look of an oil painting. And we will use a simple color mixing exercise to give confidence in value and mixing the color you need. Bring your references or use my photos. Demonstrations will give suggestions to add something new to your oil paintings and painting time to bring it all together.
