Here's one of my ballerina paintings, some roses, and Madame Knettell looking stern.
I want to add the following about the workshop:
If you think Sharon is tough on-line, you should see how picky she is in her workshop. She beat us mercilessly until we had the EXACT shade of warm pink for a sash on a tutu. She was meticulous about the color set up and was also meticulous about matching the exact colors on the canvas. When these things happen there is an incredible surge of beauty.
And Sharon pushed herself so hard during the week as well - shortly after a knee operation, she marched herself up to that model over and over and over again, matching her palette knife color to the model, until she was satisfied. Sharon, they don't make too many teachers - and artists, need I add - like you any more. You're a very impressive person all around. I learned so much by being around you, not only about color and artmaking, but about living the life of a true artist, with honesty and integrity and spirit. Thank you so much.
