Charleston Workshop

I had the pleasure of working with 12 amazing students in Charleston, SC this past week. It was so great to work with such friendly and enthusiastic artist. Everyone did really amazing with learning new ways of seeing. I so look forward to my next trip down! And Charleston is not only a beautiful city but has quite the thriving art community!

 Thanks to The Artist Loft School for hosting the workshop and to Chris Garvey for organizing the whole event! 

 Students hard at work!

 Middelton Plantation. Beautiful place. Can't wait to go back to paint! Just have to watch out for those alligators.

 Charleston has a great little museum called the Gibbs Museum, where I got to see an amazing watercolor show by Mary White. Really beautiful work!
