Long Day Learning

We began the day with sketching exercises, walking around the grounds of a former plantation turned state park.

Teacher Laurel demonstrated a step at a time, and then we copied those steps. She is a very thorough explainer.

She was actually standing upright, but I messed something up here.
Rough start but we had confidence in our highly accomplished instructor.
My beginning
Almost my end but now it is drying on top of my friend’s fridge, so we’ll wait for the final photo later.
My middle picture is out of order – usual excuse.

Then I went sightseeing!

Dadgum device flipped the picture again so I ‘ll quit now.

  1. Beautiful plein air work! And my camera reorients things sometimes too. Very frustrating

    • Thanks for checking in, Leigh! I feel like I am in your territory a little bit, in the south near the beach and I am loving it!

    • Hi Leigh, my camera does reorient things, but the problem on the blog was the combo of WordPress on a cell phone. I am inept and ignorant with that combination!

  2. In your Photos app when your looking at each image there is an Edit option in the upper right hand corner. Then in edit screen at the bottom second icon from the left is for rotating and cropping the image. Then rectangle with arrow for rotating image is above the cancel option again left hand bottom of screen.

    Hope this helps! Love seeing your experience at the workshop. Lovely landscape!

    • Thanks, Jess! The problem is occurring during the blogging. It is the little device’s version of WordPress that I am having trouble with.

      I LOVE it here!

    • Thanks, Jess. See my answer to Leigh’s comment. Sigh.

  3. Looks like you’re off to a great start! Your painting is lovely 🙂

    • Melinda, I cannot thank you enough! I would not be here without your influence! I ‘ll have some more photos to send you when I get home.
