moms group painting workshop
I did a painting workshop last night with group of moms. What fun. Nights like this make me just so happy to do what I do. The painting above is the mock-up I did for the class. Because it was a group of absolute beginners, we had a pretty rigid structure. This usually makes things less intimidating for people who find paint rather daunting. We did a step by step process, using masking, and traced shapes for a composition. I also restricted people to three colors, which helps with preventing the painting from getting muddy or too busy. The ladies each completed a piece by the end of the night, that they can frame. All of the work was lovely, and it was a pleasure to see what people produce within such parameters.
I have found a place to print my work, and will be putting some prints for sale next week. I am off to Kelowna today with the whole family to celebrate my brothers wedding. We are all looking forward to some quality time with people we love, and taking a bit of a break. If things are organized, perhaps I’ll post some updates along the way. The two families of the bride and groom are going to have a retreat for the week before the wedding, and Iwill be doing painting workshops there too. Also during the wedding, the bride and groom have some beautiful ceremony ideas, including everyone invited to the wedding doing a brush stroke on a painting that they will take home. I am going to be orchestrating that… so I’ll keep you posted.
