Robert Burridge Studio Mentor Workshop

I attended Robert Burridge Studio Mentor Workshop in Arroyo Grande, CA, at his own studio in September 2014. It was like one of my dreams came true!

He is such a great mentor, not only talented in art but to teach, to communicate, to inspire and to encourage students. Some students were repeater attracted to his caring and charming personality as well as his skills. In the class, 7 of us, in the 40s to 60s, all acted like small kids who love to paint!  Full of laughter and scream, enthusiasm, energy everyday.

My goal was to improve color scheme, and here I was trying out new sets of colors by his wonderful method!
