Sherrie McGraw Workshop


Workshop sample
not for sale

I attended a Sherrie McGraw workshop in Atlanta, Georgia last week and painted portraits from life all week.  The last day I decided I needed to get out of my comfort zone and try a still life.  It is quite a departure for me.  I learned so very much. Sherrie McGraw and Jacqueline Kamin helped me out with composition, colors and Sherrie even painted ONE of my roses...guess which one Sherrie painted and which ones I did...

More about the workshop after I catch up on my sleep!!!

  2. This is a lovely painting Maria. I always think it is good to try new things and get out of our comfort zone. I really like the composition and the lovely colours. If this is your first Still Life it is excellent. I look forward to seeing more of these - and your portraits too of course!
