Explore the discipline of painting every day and discover how this practice of daily painting produces professional and personal growth. Continuous painting is by far the most effective way to improve creativity and image-making skills. In this workshop, learn techniques used to create fresh, deliberate marks using acrylic paint. Discover approaches to simplify the process and ways to stay inspired. We will delve into the principles of design, composition, value and color, as well as examine technique; color mixing, mark making and brushwork. And lastly we’ll touch upon personal voice. Tips about blogging, scheduling, motivation, inspiration and the importance of leaving a mark will also be presented. Throughout there will be demos, studio painting assignments, group critiques and individual instruction. view my work here

Artists of Colorado Opening by Pam Holnback

Last night was the Opening of the Artists of Colorado Inaugural Juried Show held at Brushstrokes Gallery in Denver.  It was a great event.  The weather was beautiful, which helped bring people to the First Friday Gallery Walk for the four galleries in this neighborhood.  It was great to see artists that I've met before, but who live in different parts of Colorado, as well as to meet in person artists with whom I've been blogging but never met.  Here I am with Joanne Hanson, Jane Hunt, and Saundra Lane Galloway.

Here I am with Jessica Forrestal, Kit Hevron Mahoney, Anita Mosher, John Harrell, and Tracy Wall.  Kit, Anita and John are the owners of Brushstrokes Studio/Gallery.

And, in this one my husband was doing his best to get us to pose nicely and look at the camera!
