Yesterday was a treat. I spent the afternoon in an impromptu workshop taught by the very talented artist, Sandie Bacon, in this spacious and beautiful studio belonging to a friend of Sandie's. I am still feeling inspired this morning and wishing I could walk out my own back door into this inspiring retreat!


Here is the view from my chair to my right of the other two talented participants in the workshop. Unfortunately my pics of Sandie did not turn out as she stood with her back to the wall of open double doors in front of me and the light was too much for my cheap phone camera to handle.
Sandie taught us the ins and outs of Golden's fluid and open acrylics, along with some tips on painting on Golden's regular and light modeling paste. This was a much needed tutorial using these products for me. Sandie is part of Golden's Working Artist program and has a plethora of information to share. I'll be getting together with her again very soon to learn more!
