It was stunning! This post is a good one for workshop junkies who somehow think by painting the way they always have will help them learn...?... Something new. I've even witnessed students who tried to convince the tutor to try THEIR methods.

What a fun but chaotic event that was during the paint-a-round. I'm glad you were able to enjoy so many great workshops there at IAPS. It was certainly a week of nonstop inspiration!Barbara Jaenickehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356587344084067982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812995684986697670.post-6112796383103828872013-06-16T18:47:17.978-07:002013-06-16T18:47:17.978-07:00Thanks so much, Bill!

Back in early April, I posted on my blog some brief thoughts about struggling through the process to include oil in the work that I do, although I didn't go into detail about what I like/dislike. But I really think that I find an equal amount of pros and cons with oil as compared to pastel. When you consider drying time, framing issues, portability for plein air, and color mixing challenges, just to name a few...I come up with an equal list for both. And I can honestly say that I enjoy both mediums equally. It's nice to move back and forth between the two. Maybe in a future blog post I'll discuss this some more. Hey, thanks for the idea. :-)Barbara Jaenickehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356587344084067982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812995684986697670.post-27277262053668191922013-06-16T17:11:05.444-07:002013-06-16T17:11:05.444-07:00Thank you for this great post.

I also attended a workshop with Vianna Szabo. So exciting and fun....I briefly met you at the paint-a-round. Love your work and am amazed you found time, energy and focus to knock out some lovely work too! Congratulations on your Honorable Mention and Master's Circle Honor! :)Kim Werfelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11108783984229148665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812995684986697670.post-24117224359986256162013-06-16T11:51:15.977-07:002013-06-16T11:51:15.977-07:00Great post!

That takes courage to get out of your comfort zone. Also great to see that you're doing good work in oils as well as pastel. Have you ever discussed your thoughts on what you like, or don't like between the two mediums? Bill Conehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00852367461802236749noreply@blogger.com
