Could there be such a thing as too many roses? Umm, I don’t think so! Watercolor on Arches 140lb. CP. 8x10” As summer approaches & the days get longer, they somehow feel like they go quicker because I’m trying to fit in more fun! Does anyone else have that sensation? A recent sketchbook page thinking about our upcoming trip to Ireland. There’s room for two more- send me a message if you’ve got questions & would like to join us! What a fun week it’s been - plenty of flower sketching going on. Last week this time I was sketching out under a little covered canopy on my back garden. These little accordion sketchbooks are perfect for a project like this! Here’s my version- so many blossoms to choose from! I love this look of joy on a painter’s face when they are so happy with what they’ve painted- I also am grateful for the feeling I have when I get to guide and encourage painters to their goals! I am the luckiest person on earth! We ended our day with some bubbly and brie and a good discussion of what we had accomplished that day, and our intentions on finishing this sketchbook, and our future painting goals. So grateful to spend time with these brilliant flower painters - I love helping them stretch and reach their painting goals! I’m am sooo incredibly happy about the Mother’s Day Flower Fest Watercolor workshop I hosted this past Saturday!! I love setting up fun days like this in my studio! I’ve been wanting to bring in lots of flowers, making it feel like a French Florist shop, with blossoms everywhere- lots of choices for painters! I really had a good time prepping my supplies- each attendee received a Sennelier accordion style sketchbook to work in, and check out the pretty flower folders for our hand-out notes! Pink and green bulldog clips to hold your pages in place.... and a package of zinnia seeds for more blossoms later this summer! A painting demo in the morning with discussion and time to paint, and another demo & painting time in the afternoon. We break up the long day- and fortify our efforts with a gourmet lunch (prepared by moi- I do love to cook!). A yummy treat of macarons from @sift_bake_shop was exquisitely delightful!
