Dreama Workshop-- Day 1

Here is the fabulous Dreama and fabulous just doesn't describe her. I love her easy teaching style (she is from Paris-----Kentucky!).  I love her southern accent and her painting style is just what I have been looking for because it's fun and loose and colorful.
Here is step one of my painting.

All the marks of dark transparent colors are in as well as a placement of objects. Not much to look at yet.

Adding in some lights and background-- and-no, I really don't know what I am doing...

Now I am getting a little better feel for it and it's looking like something now.
Unfortunately I have not felt well at all today at all. I think it's a sinus infection so I am very low on energy and this is how I left it at the end of the day. It's not really finished but it's almost there. We will start on something new tomorrow.
I am so hoping I will feel better tomorrow. What a bummer to feel bad for this workshop that I have waited on with bated breath for 4 months.
I have started an antibiotic late this afternoon so maybe it will help--- that is if it's a bacterial thing that I have. If it's viral, I am out of luck.

Oh, and I absolutely love my new easel set up. This is the first time I have really taken it for a good spin.  If I make it through tomorrow I will post my progress.
