Night Passage was created as a demo for the Yupo Workshop.
Below are photos of the studio preparations and the motley crew!
~
Preparations were made well in advance.
Tables, supplies, and handouts were set up, and waiting.
~
The Studio Beverage Center was well-stocked!
~
About midway through the second day, students were intensely into their work.
Although painted from the same fall photo, each was uniquely beautiful.

Using a hairdryer from a distance.
Too hot or too close, and yupo can melt.

Table is all set for our scrumptious lunch.
Yes, that's a Christmas tree!
I know, it's not even Thanksgiving, yet!
~
Each day, by 12 noon, we had worked up quite an appetite.
I so enjoyed preparing not only a unique workshop experience in the studio;
but as well, I loved being creative in the kitchen!
LizzyT was busy, so I managed on my own; but, they were only a text message away,
with wonderful advice to help me present a pleasant experience.
Thanks, gals, for a great time!

Liquid Visions - 30 Paintings in 30 Days Alcohol Inks on Yupo January 31, 2014 Evening Waterfall © Donna Pierce-Clark ~ Evening Waterfall, because of the metallics used, was a bit difficult to photograph.

Touch of Pink, 5 x 7 oil, still life

Touch of Pink © Donna Pierce-Clark ~ Stages of Touch of Pink ~ First the drawing.....    ~ Then, the initial paint-in, just shapes and colors. ~ Then highlights and sparkles and dots! ~ On to the large easel........ ~ ~ Above is my large studio easel, on which I have started a 24" x 36" canvas in oils. We traveled to Rainbow Bridge on a river cruise several years ago and this canvas was actually begun soon after that trip. I think this poor canvas has been neglected for at least 3 years!  I am so happy to be back to this painting.  Below, you can see a few later stages of development and the photo reference on the computer monitor, from which I paint.  Ideally, I would prefer to be painting on location;  but, I'm happy to use the computer monitor for now. ~ To the left of the easel, I also have a still life table. If I am doing a large still life, I'll use this set up and the larger easel. At this time, howev
