Day 2 of Figure painting workshop

 We always warm up with the medium the student will use.  I used my brush on newsprint for the quick 1 minute to 2 minute warm ups.  Then 5 minutes to put a little color and then on to 10 to develop the colors.  My students did so well and we had a great model...Michelle..she will be at the Landgrove Inn workshop as well

Italian Grandmother

My 8 x 8 oil demo from this morning's class...while one of my students played "Oh My Mama" sung by Connie Francis...sigh

Beachbumming

"Beachbumming" is out of my comfort zone..24 x 36 oil painting...ahhh.  I like parts of it but not sure about it as a whole.  Will try some other larger paintings too...it's good to be out of one's comfort zone sometimes
