Looking Back on the Year, continued

One of my favorite workshops this year was with Terry Miura in Arcata, CA. Yeah, we did cityscapes in July, in the middle of a gorgeous redwood forest. 

The road up to the workshop/studio. Wish we had a four wheel drive for this one!

What a fabulous studio/workshop to have for any kind of art. Thank you, Claudia Lima!

Terry demonstrating the value of doing a value sketch before starting a painting.
Valuable information!

We all agreed that the one on the right was more pleasing even though the ground plane is a little darker than the reference photo. Don't be a slave to your photo, Terry sez. 

Second day of workshop, Terry did another value demo, this time using secret brown, yellow ochre and white
The finished painting was scooped up by one of the artists at the workshop--lucky duck!

Fun times, good memories, learned a lot!
