Painting II

This coming Saturday will be my last Painting II session at Parsons Continuing Ed Program. My instructor, Margaret, is a wonderful and kind teacher who is so knowledgable about Venetian oil
painting methods.  This is the third painting class I've taken with her (one of them was a two week intensive class in Italy. I'll tell you more about that soon), and each time I come away with a better understanding of this method and I feel like I grow in my process. You can visit her website here.

Our last class will be a celebration of our work and progress, with presentations and talks. Here are two of the paintings I will be presenting with a glimpse of the process.
