"Lean On Me"
6x6 oil on canvas panel
This painting was one that I did in my workshop with Carol Marine in Louisiana back in December. Since my comfort zone is landscapes, I had never really done a still life painting from life before attending her workshop. I have been following her work since I started painting again, and just decided not to try still life until I took a workshop from her. Sometimes for me, it seems easier not to "crowd" my brain and I wanted good information in there about still life painting before I gave it a shot. Anyway, as many have said before, she is a WONDERFUL teacher and a very kind and cool person on top of that. I was hesitant going anywhere in December since it is always such a busy month, but I was so thankful I did after the workshop was over! She has years of experience and is very sharing and giving in helping other artists. Plus, I met so many fun people and fellow artists there too! This is one of the benefits of going to workshops that I have truly enjoyed and keeps me going to more of them. Her workshops fill up fast, and I can see why now! Needless to say, if you have not had her workshop and enjoy still life painting, try to enroll in one if you can sometime.

I agree with your comments about Carol. I've taken two of her workshops and learned soooo much at each one. I am still praticing what she has shared. She is a fantastic artist, teacher and just a wonderful person!
ReplyDeleteGood job on your still life! With winter here you should do more!
Love your title, Denise! Nicely done. And I also agree with your praise of Carol Marine -- she is quite an inspiration!

ReplyDeleteFrom the first moment I saw one of Carol's paintings I was hooked. I've taken two of her workshops and would continue to study with her if I could. She's a pro and she knows her stuff!
