Took part in Pauline Agnew’s Christmas Open Studio. These free two-day events a meant to awaken and rejuvenate. Video instruction, student art showcase, and the Facebook group offer inspiration and feedback. Pauline often offers prize drawings to participants. This year she is going all out and offering 12 free spots in her e-courses!! Follow the link to find out more, and be sure to subscribe to receive information about future Open Studios.

Pauline worked in inks. She started by laying down the large shapes with tinted water, and then continued, working quickly with very wet media. I worked in watercolor. This is larger than I usually work. I was standing, and held my brush differently. I used a reference photo and tried to see shapes, and not a praying angel. A quick sketch, a liberating exercise and the opportunity to learn from Pauline Agnew! Great way to spend the day!

The first Open Studio I participated in produced one of my best pieces. Pauline has a way of doing that! Each event is a wealth of information!

    Sheila, thanks for reintroducing me to Paula Agnew. You’ve got me thinking now about participating in one of her free two-day open studio events. Love your description—a quick sketch, a liberating exercise and the opportunity to learn. Love that you worked larger, standing, and differently.

      Oh So glad Dotty, hope you signed up for her newsletter announcements. I rarely do figures, so it was a nice change of pace. I only froze for a second or two, then I just went for it. With Pauline’s encouraging words in my head. 🙂
