I returned Sunday night from teaching my four-day Abstracted Landscapes in Oil and Cold Wax<\/em> at Sitka Center for Art and Ecology,<\/a><\/span> on the Oregon Coast. It was a mountain top experience. I arrived on Wednesday afternoon to get settled into my cabin and to get the studio set up for class the following day.<\/p>\n

Class started on Thursday morning and for four days we hardly came up for air. The days were a blur of demonstrations, techniques, inspirational readings, laying down paint, scraping it off, laying down more layers, breaking for lunch, more demos and more paint. There was a constant chatter in the room, students getting feedback from each other and from me.<\/p>\n

On Friday afternoon, I presented my Art Talk.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the third day, we talked about composition, color, and design elements, and everyone started to refine their pieces and move them toward resolution. Students were introduced to R and F Pigment Sticks, and enjoyed vying for their favorite colors.<\/p>\n

On Sunday afternoon, we did a casual Show and Tell Walkabout<\/em>, where everyone talked about the process and shared a couple of their favorite pieces. Here are the Walkabout photos:<\/p>\n
