Something to work toward when I'm self employed! <br /><br />One thing that occurred to me with reflections and rocks under water. From life I've often seen the reflections or shadows of dark masses of foliage or objects on shore turn clear, showing rocks under the surface, while sky reflections around that outline obscure the bottom completely and give a great impression of the water's surface level. <br /><br />This gets really stunning if it's a dappled shadow from light coming through tree branches, with the shadow shapes showing minnows and rocks and weeds while the sky reflections define the surface. It's one of those things in nature that's always fascinated me. I have to paint that effect someday. You've shown me a lot more of how to achieve it!robertsloan2arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598847116529877475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074355279216283105.post-49797525284524280342011-08-14T18:43:12.926-07:002011-08-14T18:43:12.926-07:00Thanks, Cindy!Thanks, Cindy!Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12576820565521582322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074355279216283105.post-69697608026021764942011-08-14T10:38:43.715-07:002011-08-14T10:38:43.715-07:00these are both lovely...wish I were in the class!these are both lovely...wish I were in the class!Cmichaudarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01095705340286414183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074355279216283105.post-2133949630132569782011-08-13T19:22:28.905-07:002011-08-13T19:22:28.905-07:00I'm adding this as a comment rather than edit ...I'm adding this as a comment rather than edit the blog post, but you must go over to Bill Cone's blog and look at the paintings of the Sierra Buttes workshop he just did.

I WORK IN PASTELS AS WELL, MOSTLY 18x24 PORTRAITS AND AT A LOSS FOR A METHOD OF MAILING W/O BREAKING THE BUDGET. I appreciate your blog about how you seal them off in a specialized plastic or GLASSINE .envelope. I was wondering how u keep these pastels from bending. DO YOU SANDWICH THEM IN FOAMBOARD and dust the pastel not smear at all? I do not use fixative at all. DOES THIS METHOD WORK WITHOUT FIXATIVE OR SPACERS OF SOME SORT.<br /><br />THANKS SO MUCH,<br />JUDY BREGANTEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074355279216283105.post-52903069685138485642011-07-11T14:27:45.335-07:002011-07-11T14:27:45.335-07:00I've received several messages from people who...I've received several messages from people who might be interested. A lot depends on when it is and how much it will cost, of course. One thing I can assure you of: it will be weekdays, not the weekend. I'd most likely shoot for Thursday-Friday.

It will probably be too soon for me to become self supporting and have enough spending money to attend a workshop out of state this fall, but I hope you do this. <br /><br />I hope it goes well too and that you'll do it again another year, because in 2012 I might be able to afford the trip. Especially a short weekend length trip like that. Might be traveling bare bones on Greyhound to do it, but that could be fun in itself.<br /><br />I'm serious. I've been drooling at your classes and workshops for years, so please keep doing them and if this one goes well, consider running it more than once. I'm a lot closer to self supporting than I've been and this is a wonderful idea.<br /><br />It might even be easier and cheaper to get to Albuquerque from California than from Arkansas. Nice field test for what I need to do to go to IAPS in 2013!robertsloan2arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598847116529877475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074355279216283105.post-9187469663601551052011-07-10T07:24:16.141-07:002011-07-10T07:24:16.141-07:00Hi Deborah,

I am in the middle of packing up and moving back to AZ at the end of this month. but I will be back in Minnesota around Thanksgiving time to see family and have our(my friend Sue and I) 2nd annual Black Friday Art Sale. i might have more freedowm in the winter time. depends on how i'm feeling and if I get sick or not. this past winter I was sick for three months and the winter before I was sick for more than two and in the hospital for 8 days. I'm seriously thining of getting a flu shot but I'm torn by it because I had a good doctor once who told me never to get it with all of my immune problems and health issues. That it would just make me sicker with those things. sigh. I pray I don't get sick! I don't have any pan pastels yet but have been thinking about them for a couple of years now and I do have some pastelmat that I love for regular pastels. Well this is long. Love this painting you did and I have a feeling you will have a very successful class! lots of people are interested in learning how to use them is my guess!<br /><br />Take care,<br />SaraSara Mathewsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17503224852098578312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074355279216283105.post-67575319630771566842011-05-20T17:21:35.488-07:002011-05-20T17:21:35.488-07:00The inspiration for this lesson came from Marc Han...The inspiration for this lesson came from Marc Hanson, who was having his plein air students set their easels up 180 degrees from the view they were painting. I think having a photo turned over is about the same, except maybe put it far enough away that you have to reach a bit for it, Rob. That way you aren't just flipping it over casually any time, but have to think and decide... Go for it and let me know how it goes!Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12576820565521582322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074355279216283105.post-12436959329472733022011-05-20T17:18:02.348-07:002011-05-20T17:18:02.348-07:00I have to try this and use this exercise at home. ...I have to try this and use this exercise at home. Maybe not the getting up to walk around part, but turning the reference over while I paint instead of staying on my feet too long. <br /><br />I would love to be able to paint some things I've seen from before I got a digital camera, or scenes that I lost the photos for. If I get enough practice, even old memories may become clear enough to inspire a good painting.robertsloan2arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598847116529877475noreply@blogger.com
