Mary Elizabeth Barron - Third & final day of the workshop with Bistra Pisancheva. It is all about creating texture & combining colours to make landscapes. Very interesting & completely unique techniques! Working the sky & receiving my certificate from Bistra. The workshop piece is really a sampler of the different techniques, so my landscape ended up very abstract, but I am happy.

 

Mary Elizabeth Barron - My Bobowa lace piece progressing nicely, after the second day of the four day workshop. I a m very happy with how it is going & enjoying learning new techniques. Thanks Ewa, you are a great teacher.

 

Mary Elizabeth Barron - Day two of the workshop with Bistra was even more exciting than day one! Photos of some of the other class members work. So interesting to see how different everyone's work is! All very individual, these techniques are so great for individual interpretation & creativity!
