I am so happy to have met you all and to have experienced the Thomas Bosket workshop... It was fun, silly, maddening, frustrating and wonderful, and I have been journaling with sketches a lot since I've been home. Thomas' knowledge of art is so extensive as to be mind boggling, but the biggest take away for me is how he relates to people. I think he set a tone of kindness to and respect for each of us that made the class such a safe place to be in, to learn, to experiment, to put ourselves out there. His deep regard for each of us and our feelings (and that he remembered everyone's name without nametags!), his unremitting energy and zest for life has left me with much to ponder! And the speed with which he put up this blog!
In the spirit of sharing, I would like to post a "splatter painting" that I did before the workshop. The technique is to use very vivid watercolors (Dr. Martin's Radiant Concentrated Water Colors) , drop spatters on a piece of paper, let it dry, go back into it and look for shapes and images and draw them out and elaborate on them with Prisma colors. I left this at home in an unfinished state, and when I got home my husband showed it to me in a new way, upside down! (hint: see the 2 black circles as eyes) I'm not sure if i like it better rightside up or upside down! Jennifer Yane
