I enjoyed a week at a plein air workshop in Troo, France, a picturesque town in the lovely Loire Valley region. American artist, Tom Hughes, was our instructor- in- residence and we spent many days exploring the region, visiting nearby castles, villages and scenic areas where we would paint. Interestingly, I was the sole watercolorist. Our small group stayed the entire week at the lovely Chateau de la Voute in Troo, which was a very special experience in itself! A painting companion and I spent the following two weeks exploring the countryside in our rental car, painting, and enjoying the good food and scenery of Central France.
For further information about artbyworthing visit www.artbyworthing.com I am heading to France in May to paint with an artist friend. This will be our second trip together. I plan on attempting small plein air watercolors as well as ipad "paintings". Weather of course, will be a factor! More on this trip to follow.Earlier this year I attended local two-day workshop sponsored by Sacramento Fine Arts: "Shape-Shifting - Abstracting the Landscape in Water Media" with California artist, Dale Laitinen. Good group, good demos and instruction.
I have also created two new 15x22 watercolor and graphite works: 'Sacrament' and 'In Memory Of'. I am looking forward to venturing to the east coast. I will be taking my iPad with me, so more iPad art to be created.
Often when traveling, I use my iPad to create my art. Excellent for ' En plain air'. So much fun, quick, loose and spontaneous! Morning View From The Living Room
