Here's some shots from the watercolor workshop I gave over the weekend. It was a great group of talented and--as you can see--hard-working folks. We had fun and I hope they thought it was worthwhile.

I enjoyed seeing the photos from your watercolor workshop and especially enjoyed your pencil work.
Looks everyone in your class benefited from the time.
It's a really nice drawing, too.
Thanks a lot, Ann.
Hi Diana--thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful trees. And your workshop looks like lots of fun! : -) Lucky participants!
Thanks Liz, it was lots of fun.
Don,
I have to comment on this lovely little tree study. Reminds me of some of Wyeths pencil studies..this isn't the first time your work has brought me down that road.
Great stuff as usual..I should add that I love your door series too, fantastic work here. Particularly when a tension is created by a slightly opened door..good story telling with solid painting.
Well done.
Best,
Todd
Hi Todd--yeah the Andy influence comes out from time to time, especially in the drawings. I discovered Wyeth at about age 18, and he was my early role model. I detailed that relationship in my January 16th blog post.
Thanks for your kind comments.
I'm just curious, Don.
What was taught at your watercolor workshop? I've never been to a workshop at all so I'm kind of curious as to what you focused on.
Oh, and I love the tree trunk study. Good job capturing the light on the wood.

Thanks Dean. The workshop was mostly hands-on and demo. The first evening was a three-hour session where I did a quick demo of painting an apple, then the class painted their own. The second day I started with a demo from a sketch, then they worked from their own resource material. Last day was back to still life with a little more complex arrangements.
It was pretty informal; the focus was on painting--not a lot of technique talk, exercises or color theory.
Hello from France
Good drawing of tree
