I just got back from a workshop with
Lisa Pressman at
R&F Paints,
called "Exploring Visual Language: Conversations on Color". How cool
is THAT? We were working with pigment sticks, which are very rich oil
paint in stick form. Lisa is awesome, the studio is awesome, and the
other students were awesome. Could not have been a more inspiring
workshop. Here are a few pix:

One of my 10"x10" panels, still wet, still in progress |

Ditto the above |

And another one.... |

one of my studies on paper, 7"x7" |

Another study on paper, using neutrals this time |
 |
The R&F Pigment Sticks are absolutely LUSCIOUS! |

This is most of the class - a couple people left early. That's me in the magenta sweatshirt. Lisa is second from the right. Richard Frumess, the founder of R&F, is on the far left. Well, he's the only guy, so I guess that's obvious. |
