I invited my friend Tory Brokenshire to join me for the week and she enthusiastically said yes. It started with loading the car.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Lisa-Pressman-Class-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7152 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Lisa-Pressman-Class-2-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"Lisa Pressman Class (2)\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAfter a day of driving (okay, we might have stopped in Centralia for lunch and some junking in the many antique shops in that little town), we arrived on Whidbey Island. Our Airbnb was just as we pictured it would be: light, bright, cozy, and right on Penn Cove.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Lisa-Pressman-Class-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7154 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Lisa-Pressman-Class-4-300x175.jpg\" alt=\"Lisa Pressman Class (4)\" width=\"300\" height=\"175\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Lisa-Pressman-Class-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7153 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Lisa-Pressman-Class-3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Lisa Pressman Class (3)\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nClass started on Monday morning and went for four days. Holy Moley. It was all I hoped it would be: lots of lessons, demos, prompts, and experimenting. Lisa left plenty of time for painting and was always circulating offering feedback, suggestions, and encouragement. The extensive demos and talks about R &amp; F Pigment Sticks was an added bonus because I have been using these oil sticks for over a year, but didn&#8217;t know all the ins and outs of how they could be used. The answer is: endless ways.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Lisa-Pressman-Class-27.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
