Lynn was a very gracious host and we had a ball. The participants were a wonderful group of people of varying degrees of talent and experience. The week flew by and I feel that we all walked away enriched by the experience.
I have decided that in the future all my workshops will be extended from five days to six days in length. I wanted to add an additional day to give folks the opportunity to play with their new toys while still under my supervision.
I spend a great deal of the time demonstrating all aspects of the underpainting, palette setup, lay-in and realization towards the finish, so I felt an extra day would really help. I feel that by demonstrating, while explaining in great detail what I'm doing, I am connecting to both sides of my students' brains.
If you consider the introductory slide lecture I present the night prior to the start of the workshop, you could legitimately call this a week-long event. The lecture, which gives the historical relevance for the concepts and theories that I teach, is just one of the many ways I have tried to revitalize the workshop format.
Lynn has already booked the facilities for next year starting on August 8 with the lecture and finishing up on August 14. Anyone interested in contacting Lynn can call her at (770) 778-5665. She's a great lady and you'll enjoy talking to her.
