Where to end? I have experienced so much on this trip and all can’t possibly be told.<\/p>\n

For me personally the reason for this trip was to step out of my comfort zone and to learn a pastel technique which was unfamiliar to me. That was a real challenge, because the Uart paper is completely different to the La Carte and blending is hardly possible or at least not the way I am used to. But Richard McKinley<\/a> has proved himself to be a very good teacher who can pass on his knowledge in theory and praxis.<\/p>\n

Even though I knew I wouldn’t be able to reach the quality in my painting as I am used to reach in my studio, there where points where I would have liked to skip out back to my old ways. But staying in the game with the new approach has payed off. I didn’t paint the pretty picture (a workshop is never about a pretty picture, I know), but I know now where my journey as an artist will improve.<\/p>\n
