March 16-20th, 2020 Beginning Drawing and Watercolor Workshop
This was a week of serious learning, serious laughter, and the creation of new friendships as we were able to have my last workshop before schools were shut down due to Covid-19. We practiced social distancing with our tables apart, hand sanitizer available, and all participants had not been traveling, so I thank God we were able to have this week together. This may be the group that practices more than any other group with social isolation soon to follow for weeks afterward. Life did not get back to normal, so I hope everyone kept their paint brushes wet in the past few weeks. We didn’t have a group picture, so those willing to take a chance standing by me had their photos taken with one of their paintings.Thanks to all of you for your enthusiasm, positive energy, sense of humor, and diligence in practicing!

Thanks for a fabulous week! I look forward to seeing your progress on our group Facebook page!
