A little more progress

If you've been reading my FORUM you would have seen more stages with the portrait. Here's how things looked a day later. I've emailed my progress to Valerie, for her feedback and I was delighted at her response. She writes:
Actually, an excellent job!!! Don't do too well, I'd like to be needed when I get there!!! haha

Keep up the good work! You're definitely on target!!!

Love,

Val

So - totally motivated by her comments I am going to prep another 2 portraits ready to paint outside, in the sun.

Valerie Stewart Workshop in the UK - May 2010

The Valerie Stewart demo DVD at just £16 (including p&p) is proving to be a very popular item and a great introduction into oil painting portraits. Valerie and I are currently discussing a portrait workshop here in the UK - a first for both of us. We had hoped to organise a seminar for this year, but alas, our schedules are just too busy to slot this in with ample time for promotion and proper organisation. So, dates have been confirmed for 2010. The 4 day seminar will take place on 30th April, 1st, 2nd and 3rd May. We will complete 2 oil painting portraits of your choice. Further details will be released as soon as they are available and long distance students will have more than enough time to organise accommodation and travel/flights. This opportunity to paint along with Valerie will be extremely exciting and places will be limited to just 26 students. The workshops will take place in Capel St Mary and students will need to commit to the full 4 days. I'm thrilled this extremely popular and talented instructor is willing to teach here in the UK - this will be one memorable class, guaranteed.
