I’ve been painting a scene of Pirate’s Cove for nine weeks with the students in my Seascape Workshops. This has been a great painting for introductory students. I noticed this past week that we have been finishing earlier than usual. Perhaps I have hit my stride with this particular subject. However, I know many guests return to the Resorts every three months or so. I think it’s getting to be time to start developing the next painting for the Winter Season. I have a few ideas based on the responses I’ve gotten to the workshops so far. I’ll probably focus a little more on waves in the ocean. If first time artists can walk out of a workshop with a good painting of the ocean in action, I think they will (rightly so) be very proud of themselves. Time to figure it out…
