Susan Toby White Workshop

Susan Toby white gave a fabulous workshop. Learning about color and how to manipulate it to your advantage in a painting is one of the many topics that she taught us.
Priscilla, Terrie, Gail, Liz and I all attended this inspiring workshop. Susan has agreed to hold a workshop just for Plein Air Thursday group...we just have to come up with a date.

Terrie painted this gull upside down.

We started off the workshop by painting a picture, using two colors plus white (red and blue) that was upside down...definitely different and very effective. Capturing the shape of an object instead of getting caught up in the details was the lesson and by painting upside down you really don't know what it is your painting so your have to rely on the shape.
The afternoon session, Susan had us painting a still-life and using lots of colors.
