Mountain Arts- Catherine Kehoe
​Still Life 

Workshops to an art practice are like ketchup to french fries- not necessary, but so tasty. I am fortunate to have been to two amazing workshops this summer and they were only a few weeks apart. 

Both employed techniques, materials and styles that are new to me but pulled from skills I've put aside. Lots to learn and so decadent to spend so much focused attention on art, art, art. Instructors Brian Rego and David Campbell of Perceptual Painters and Catherine Kehoe with CMA were all excellent instructors and the other artists were dedicated and fascinating people.

Painting from live models was a blast from the past-the early 80's to be exact and figure drawing at Iowa State University. Using palette knives instead of brushes was a new experience and very challenging. Who knew there were so many sizes and types.

And the icing on the workshop cake at both workshops? The other students were interesting, focused and dedicated. A treat!
