A very 'different' approach (and scene) for me from Karlyn's workshop "Painting Outside the Lines" ... the idea here is to paint in swaths of colors, again with a path of light and a path of dark, some negative painting, all the while using the drawing as the basis that holds the rather abstract watercolor shapes together.
We had a 2nd painting to do in this workshop that I haven't finished -- it uses a similiar method but with a bit more of traditional painting ...
The workshop I took last night was on abstracts -- Karlyn's are magnificent! And her texturing techniques - seran wrap, wax paper, gauze, collage papers, unryu papers and the like were a lot of fun. I have the underpaintings done on 2 of them -- but alas, 3 hours is simply NOT enough time to get them all finished! LOL
I've a full day workshop today, similar I think to the one involving the Sunflowers. It'll be wonderful to reinforce some of those ideas!
I come home to a real dinner, company and getting ready to head out tomorrow to another insane work week ... so I'll be behind again on responding to your very kind and most encouraging notes. I promise to respond as soon as I can! Forgive me .. it's been a lot of early, early mornings and late late nights and a ton of driving in between!

Very lovely Lin. It looks like the buildings are pen lines with the added color.
I am ordering her book! :)
Wow; very interesting. She is incredible and you are doing a magnificent job of showing us by your beautiful work. Whew. I'm tired just reading about your hectic days and nights. But oh so much fun and knowledge all wrapped up into one.
Hugs and Love,

I like this one very very much! Very much, indeed!
That's such a beautiful painting - I just read your detail about it very avidly as I'd love to use the technique myself but I'm not sure I could pull it off like that! I adore what you've done with the vegetation at the front - is it spattered? It just works so well.
A painting of great impact.
This is really successful. You are doing such amazing things in your workshops!
