The workshop was very helpful in pounding in those academic rules that I tend to forget so easily. One thing I tend to forget after laying in my darks in the beginning, is to go back and re-establish those darks again throughout the painting process, when I tend to let things get a bit muddy. And to keep my darks rich! I also worked on planning my paintings better in the beginning with small thumbnail sketches. This is a thumbnail of "The Narragansett", one of the large hotels on Block Island on the Great Salt Pond.

My first attempt at painting, which is oil on wood panel.
