Fun at the COLOR Workshop!

 The two-day color workshop was a huge success!

The first day was spent discussing terms such as value, hue, 
intensity (chroma or saturation) and reviewing the basic primary 
and secondary colors.

It was pretty close to being an information overload.

We created color charts - which are labor intensive, but worth the effort.

Of course, cookies make anything bearable!

The second day was more about putting into practical use the information
from the day before. We completed paintings, reviewed color matching
and talked about utilizing "grays" in our paintings.

Here's part of our work...

Plein Air at the Utah State Fair

The Utah State Fair had a "Quick Draw" 
event today - a competition en plein air.

I took up the challenge and painted under a 
hot September sun. Having gone through 
three water bottles I still felt over heated!

The hot asphalt heated the soles of my
tennis shoes and I kept having to prance
around (I must have looked funny).

The artists were supposed to turn in their paintings by 3:30
but I yielded to the heat and whimped out around 2:15 pm.

It was one of those "don't care anymore" moments. Ha-ha!

Here's my painting. I received a third place ribbon and cash 
prize in the professional division. Yay!
