Expressive figure painting workshop


In June I had another opportunity to participate in a weekend workshop with Barbara Fugate. It was intense two days filled with instruction and inspiration. We studied approach of the Bay Area Figure Painters, except we painted from the live model. We did four paintings in the two days. All 24 x 36 inch or larger. Needless to say there was no fussing allowed. I'm looking forward to this weekend's Fugate workshop, three days of "Figure in the Landscape" on Guemes Island. I've got my wide brimmed hat and the weather is looking fine!
