Painters Tip
Painting Workshops Continued
One of the things you should do is to actually follow through on assignments. I like to assign students to buy a journal before my workshops and begin writing in them about two weeks before we start. I want them to get into the habit of recording thoughts and ideas for paintings, questions they may have for me, thumbnail sketches, color mixing swatches, notes about products and equipment they use or want, etc. etc. I taught a recent workshop where 2 out of the 17 attendees brought a journal and actually recorded anything in it. This is typical for painters who attend workshops.
I also send home a notebook full of information about paintings and exercises which will help them improve on their own time. I can only imagine that several of the notebooks are never used again after the workshops.
In order for you to fully take advantage of the workshop experience, and soak in everything the instuctor has to offer, you must go into it fully prepared to complete assignments. If you do not fully engage in the process, you will miss most of the learning experience. Be diligent and disciplined in your approach to learning.
