I’m a tad tardy in sharing about my June class at Sitka Center for Art and Ecology<\/span><\/a>, but it has been fun looking through all of the photos a month later. This class was special because Sitka had a last minute workshop cancellation and I was asked to teach an additional session of my Abstracted Play in Oil and Cold Wax<\/em> (my August class filled quickly and had a long waiting list).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sitka is located on the Oregon Coast at Cascade Head (between Lincoln City and Neskowin). I got to stay in Gray House, a cabin located just a short walk up from Boyden Studio, where my class was held.<\/p>\n

I love the process of preparing to teach – walking the grounds, the lesson planning, and getting the studio set up.<\/p>\n

Once class got started, it was a whirlwind of activity. I started each morning with a warm up exercise, and then moved into teaching techniques. Students were given lots of time to practice and play – and they all jumped in with a fearless enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

This routine was repeated for four days and it was a blur of heightened energy, creativity, and beautiful results.<\/p>\n

On the fourth day, we worked in the morning, and then cleaned up in preparation for our sharing and wrap up.<\/p>\n

During our class, I did warm ups along with students and also illustrated how working in a visual journal can be great inspiration for creating paintings.<\/p>\n
