What an inspirational 3 day workshop I just returned from! Yvette gives you the knowledge/tools to create your own art. She shared useful information on paints, mediums, and the ten basic design armatures that was and is very helpful to me as a beginner. I can now understand better how and when to use mediums with acrylic to create that dreamy depth I see in professional paintings.
She shows a nice balance of advising vs. letting you make your own missteps. It is very empowering to come back to your painting, say after one of their delicious lunches, and say "Hey, this part doesn't work here, I need to fix it. What was I thinking!" The empowering part is that I could see myself it needed to change.
The large converted barn that houses her gallery and workshop is gorgeous!
Yvette is just a lovely person and Derek is no slouch either ;-) Thanks to you both for a wonderful weekend of color, fun, and friendship.
