I had soooooooooo much fun at the workshop this past weekend. It was at the same place as
last year, the San Clemente Art Supply http://www.scartsupply.com/
There isn't one art supply store in Los Angeles like this place. I love it!!
I worked on my painting the full 3 days - it was definitely a challenge :)
Here's my finished painting 9 x 12 (ish) (a little blurry *sigh*):



I learned a lot and re-learned some things lol. Dianna Ponting is a wonderful teacher
and so cool and personable :)

Yay! i'm off to San Clemente, CA for a pastel workshop with Dianna Ponting http://www.ponting.com/
I went last year and learned a lot - this will be an excellent refresher since i haven't done squat since
the last workshop....sigh.

i'm also thrilled about just leaving - LOL! getting away from the day job...and being by myself.
i'm sure DH is happy too - it's good to have a little time to ourselves :)

man, i can't emphasize enough at how thrilled i am to be away from work! lmao! i wish it was longer! it would be nice to be missed hahahahaha. i'm never away long enough to be missed though....

HI! I finally get to post about this! Last weekend (July 13-July 15)
I went to San Clemente, CA (at the San Clemente Art Supply)
for a 3 day workshop with Dianna Ponting. Every single artist(there were
15 of us) were the coolest, nicest, most down-to-earth people!
It was a great atmosphere and Dianna was incredible and soooo
helpful to share her skills and knowledge! Patti, the SCAS owner
was incredibly hospitable and I loved her cookies :)

Here's an exercise that all of us did, here's my finished allsorts candies:


Here's what I did after the exercise. This puppy isn't finished but here she is:
a mango:


Here's a link to my web album showing the cool people that attended
I thought I photographed everyone but they aren't all shown :(
