Now normally I wouldn't show a workshop painting to anyone, except maybe my husband and parents. Taking a workshop is all about trying new things. It might mean trying new painting techniques, new subject matter, new paints or all of the above! All of that experimenting typically results in some pretty... let's just say... interesting paintings. And although they may be mighty interesting, they are not necessarily something I'd share freely.
During this workshop I painted a white porcelain teapot sitting on a box draped with dark fabric. My goals were to capture the dramatic darks in the fabric and the colors being reflected in the pot. And while this isn't my favorite painting ever, I like it enough to put it here to show you how I spent my weekend.
So here's my teapot. I hope you like it too.

Hi stacy. I'm so glad you had a good time at the workshop and that you are back.
Is the background fabric a velvet by any chance?
Your painting is vivid and striking.
I know that usually you take a lot of time with a painting and I know a workshop is quite a different setting and one has to work fast.
It takes a lot of courage to work under those circumstances.
I'd say your workshop was a success even if the prince didn't show.
Take care!
Love bluelilac.
Welcome to the blogging community! I just tagged you! You have to write a blog post about 6 of your idiosyncracies and then tag someone else.
Tag! You're It!

Hi Blue and Robin! Thanks for stopping by. The workshop was great. I'm anxious to use what I learned in another painting. Hopefully today. I enjoy painting while I listen to a football game on TV, especially when I don't care about the outcome of the game.
Robin, have fun at your workshop!
Denise, don't worry. I'll find some way to get you back. :p
