Sunny Day Cottage -an original oil 12x9 inches
Painted on location at Crystal Cove Historic District

In March I camped for a few days at Crystal Cove State Beach. It rained most of the time, but I was able to paint between storms. On the one predicted sunny day I took my first Uber to the historic district. I got two paintings in that day. I had just the right vantage point for this one, but apparently too close to the surf. A surprise wave came up and swept my backpack into the nearby creek. My tripod stayed put! I was so relieved that my phone was in my apron, not my backpack! Lesson learned. And another: I did the next painting with a drippy roll of Viva paper towels and they still worked! I came home from camping and the quarantine and lock downs began. So long ago, it seems.
Here are a few demos from my recent workshop. It will give you an idea of what I teach; mostly how to get a clear division of light and shadow (among other things!) These are simplified small studies.
