The workshop was great - mostly artists and art teachers, so we had a high standard of results, but the best for me was meeting so many amazing people - such energy and entrepreneurial spirit up there.
We played with a variety of media, techniques and tools, but the most fun was making our own horse tail brushes - thanks to the 3 horses in the front paddock who kindly donated chunks of tail hair - the joys of a country workshop.
Here are some of the results:

ReplyDeleteThank you for showing pictures from the day. Looks so creative and inspiring... I wish I could have joined you! I'll definitely try to paint with homemade brushes as it lookls like it gives unexpected and exciting results.
ReplyDeleteYUMMO!...Some very Whiteley brush marks here. Love that workshop...one of my very faves.
ReplyDeleteI love this kind of play or work???....not work to me. Spontaneous is always the best....trusting that occasionally results in my best work.....something about black and white....always "pulls" me in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sounding work shop. I would have enjoyed being there!
ReplyDeleteThey all look great. I'm definitely going to make my own brushes and try.You just need a bit of inspiration and a lot of enthusiasm..
