Workshops

Currently I'm taking a 4 week workshop with Silvio Silvestri, a wonderful plein air painter.
Each session is 3 hours. Silvio sets up a still life and then does a demonstration. The class then can try to recreate their own painting. It is done 'alla prima', painting wet into wet.
The first week we painted pears, lemons and tangerines. Yesterday he brought a gorgeous bouquet of fresh flowers.

Nothing I have done has been good enough to display on my blog! However, every teaching workshop is a wonderful learning experience and much is taken away to use in other work. Check out Silvio's blog and see how good he is at Silvioscorner.blogspot.com/
