"Qiang Huang Workshop"

Today was the first day of a workshop with Qiang Huang and I feel like a kid in a candy store! He is such a great instructor..very hands on, approachable, and a comforting ease with his students. Starts the workshop with an hour of power point background and instruction, followed by an incredible demo, lunch, then painting with available setup material. This is the result of my afternoon's painting...with lots of hands on suggestions. Qiang is helping me see colors I've been missing, lights and darks that "who knew", composition, lost lines...you name it...my head is swimming! Two more days!!! Yeah!!!

  4. This is lovely, Ann! I've not heard of your instructor but that means nothing. I've not heard of too many of the world's great artists of today. Gosh, now my head is swimming too, wondering at those things you mentioned! Hope you totally enjoy the next couple of days of lessons!!
