Breakthroughs at the Workshop

My Set-Up at Katherine's Studio

The best thing for a workshop, I think, is when artist's can get a breakthrough and find new strength in their paintings.  I appreciate the very hard work my students put in to do this, and I have a feeling others will want to endure experience this same kind of fun at one of my on-demand workshops.

Katherine's Studio Hosts My Workshop

"I Use Matisse's Method.  Matisse Said, 'I Have No Method.'"

I am teaching a small group of Portland area artists in Katherine van Schoonhoven's beautiful studio.  Kvan lives in Battleground, WA, and she blogs at Art and Music. We share a love for abstraction in the landscape, and she posts about the workshop here.

It took some courage to begin a fresh work for my demo, which was of a subject viewed in the Columbia Gorge on my drive over from eastern Washington.  Luckily, I was pleased with the results.  Whew.
