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.
