July 17
The past couple of days was spent re-arranging the studio, so now we have an extra work space where people can come in and do private work. Plus, my mom is looking for someone to help her at the studio. Call her if you have any questions.
This is the most advanced week with self portraits and pointillism. The classes are going exceptionally well—besides the fact my mother accidentally threw away my self portrait and we just broke a mirror. (7 years of bad luck) =(

Our Cowgirls coral their herd of horses. |
Cacti made from clay, toothpicks and acrylic paint. |
The campers created little cacti that we made by molding clay and sticking in toothpicks pieces, and they loved that. We have our own My Artz Desire Cactus Garden. They also played with toy horses while we got ready for the next craft.

Before camp we ran into a little snag-we were supposed to finish a project similar to batik using India Ink, but someone borrowed my mother's India Ink and didn't give it back, so we will have to finish that project tomorrow, hopefully.
After that we are going to be beading some bandannas to wear like cowboys. Later, we are going to paint some rocks like gold nuggets (think the California Gold-rush) and my mom will handout little napkins of Pops cereal. I am having so much fun doing the blog and I can't wait to do the next one.

My weekend as a student.
I spent the weekend painting with Rob O'Dell at one of his watercolor painting workshops. It is truly a wonderful experience to paint with and to get tips from a master painter. While I was there I was so critical of what I was doing, but now, 24 hours later I can see that I did great work-of a caliber I would not have attempted prior to the workshop. He encouraged and pushed me. He stretched me and taught me. I have been doing art all my life. I have a formal art education. I define myself as a painter yet this was a great learning experience. You are never too old nor is it ever too late to learn.
