Denis Brown, calligrapher and letter designer extraordinaire from Ireland is coming to my studio Wednesday and Thursday to do a workshop for 9 of us. Denis is one of the foremost calligraphers in the world and we are very lucky to get him to come this way since his first stop is Miami. This class is certainly not for sissies, that's for sure! So we just need to buck up and go for it! Bring it on, Denis!! I might not get to post anything for a few days but I will try and get some pictures of the famous Denis as he is teaching us and demonstrating.

Hey Martha,
That's a pretty good Oil Painting, especially as it was done with a palette knife.
Ah, go girl, enjoy your workshop with the famous Denis. Look forward to the photos.
Creative hugs,
Anna
oh i love the look one gets with oil paints...i have never tried them...i wonder???
I love these tulips, well done. I also like your group of previous paintings
Your painting is lovely Martha! I love the look of the palette knife.
I'm still practicing my watercolor flowers and enjoying your workshop. I am a very impatient person though, and wish it was as beautiful as your paintings right now! LOL!
Have fun at your workshop with Denis!
Martha,
Your oil painted tulips are terrific...and with a palette knife no less! Congratulations!!!
Sounds like your workshop will be fun...I don't know who Denis is but I'm going to investigate - have a wonderful time but I'll miss your posts.....
Oh My!! I can't even imagine a workshop with Denis Brown. That's pretty mind boggling. Good luck, and I can't wait to see your art.
Love the palette knife painting.
This looks so thick and juicy.. You must have had a blast.
This painting has a great look and feel to it. Who taught this method?
Wow, a workshop with Denis! What a treat! Tell him we said HI! from Oklahoma City! ♥ What are you studying? I plan on buying his DVD's... Have fun and tell us ALL about it!!! :)
Wow, Martha. Aren't you blessed to have Denis Brown come and teach you in a small group setting! How nice is that! Can't wait to see your postings after his class :)
Hi Martha,
Denis was just here in Calgary (Canada) and his workshops were great as always! Enjoy! He is a very good teacher. :)
Gorgeous technique, Martha. So different for you. I can see why you enjoyed it...it pushed you out of your box. And, well done indeed!
Enjoy Denis, too...
you do love to challenge yourself! I'd say you are doing well with the oils, I understand it's a whole other world when working with oils.
Looking forward to hearing more about your workshop time with Denis and in your own studio, how cool is that!
Oh this one is beautiful,I love the painterly look to it.
Martha I just love how your painting turned out! Enjoy your calligraphy class.
I am jealous, jealous, jealous of your having Denis Brown with you! You will have to lay down and go into a trance afterwards to zone out after all that stimulation! OR you might stay up for days just practicing! Can't wait to see your posts.
Quite inspiring this! Am into flowers too at the moment. Happy froday!
That's beautiful! I've never tried oil painting before. And those definitely still look like tulips!
