I'm so glad you enjoyed my online classes with Quilt University, I've been surprised by how much I enjoyed teaching them - having students from all around the world in the class is a great experience.Elizabeth Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928615247903165719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-87911341103514106942012-07-11T15:05:53.544-07:002012-07-11T15:05:53.544-07:00I am sitting here in Sisters at the Quilter's ...I am sitting here in Sisters at the Quilter's Affair. I come here every year and take a few classes, get I touch with the women that I share a house with, and do some shopping. I had a wonderful class yesterday on painting and am afraid I will go home and not get to it until I have forgotten everything. The highlight was running into a dyer who was presenting downtown at one of the stores. She made it seem so simple. I love your work and have taken a couple of Quilt University classes with you. I'm hoping to get back with you in August. I know you are coming to Portland but I can't get into your workshop. I keep hoping one day you will be at the Quilters Affair. It is a great event with Quilter's from around the world and selfishly I want to get into a workshop with you. Love your work.

I'm excited to be in a structured environment to enforce drawing practice. I identify completely with you needing to stop sooner. I love the process and get totally involved. Thanks for the reminder to stay aware of what's happening!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730298448632087144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-1291377443903494312012-07-08T07:02:19.144-07:002012-07-08T07:02:19.144-07:00thanks for your comment Heather.

I can only presume the prochem folk steered you away from black gradations because black isn't a pure color so your hues are kind of random!! but I love that...and you can get a great range of values. Nickel and the other greys are also mixed colors though...if you wanted just one hue, possibly boysenberry would be a good choice. Re the complementaries dulling - I do mention that in order to dull colors you can use black or a complementary - either way you'll end up with all three primaries in the mix and that's what leads to a neutral...or on the way to a neutral!!Elizabeth Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928615247903165719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-82531459802995336642012-07-08T05:06:40.434-07:002012-07-08T05:06:40.434-07:00So interested by your idea of making gradations wi...So interested by your idea of making gradations with black dye. The staff at ProChem steered me away from that, suggesting instead Nickel and other greys, but now I am determined to try out the black.<br /><br />I have spent the last few days overdyeing complementary colours to get that dirty, complex colour I'm after. Will you include that approach in your course, do you think?Heather Dubreuilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626475036351705686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-80184114693720569182012-07-08T04:30:29.412-07:002012-07-08T04:30:29.412-07:00I took a drawing class - every time you ask any ar...I took a drawing class - every time you ask any artist "what can I do to improve my art skills" - they say "take a drawing class!" - I'm signed up for two this summer and in the Fall I'll start going to the life drawing at OCAF in Watkinsville, Ga.<br /><br />And oh I wish I could swop a few days with you Peneller! wet cool and misty sounds wonderful right now!Elizabeth Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928615247903165719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-13041673314484472942012-07-08T02:21:01.776-07:002012-07-08T02:21:01.776-07:00An online dyeing class sounds good!
