Mendocino

My sister Alice and I spent last week painting with Birgit O'Connor in Mendocino at the Mendocino Art Center. We signed up for two workshops, back to back. The first was Treasures From The Shore where we focused on painting rocks, seaweed, shells and sand. The second workshop was painting flowers.

It was a fun and exhausting week. We learned a lot of techniques and were exhausted at the end of every day. We met some really nice people in the workshops and Birgit was a great watercolor instructor. Although the class was about having fun and learning technique I did come away with some paintings I like. Birgit also taught us a cool framing without glass technique which I haven't tried yet but plan to in the near future. I'll keep you posted.
