This week, I am in Sedona Arizona studying plein air painting with Jennifer McChristian. Today was day 1, and I had such a great time. It was all about values, and simplifying shapes. These are two of my studies - and I am generally pleased. And being in Sedona is just amazing, and I feel so fortunate.
Hi - I'm Martha Cowan and I love painting. Actually, I have to paint. My life feels right when I've been painting, and when I haven't been, something's missing. Oils are my favorite medium, although I love soft pastels. I like watercolor and use it for quick studies.
About two years ago I took a workshop with Carol Marine, which changed my life as an artist, because she taught me about daily painting and marketing. I decided to be a daily painter right then and there, although I have not been able to make that happen, due to other obligations, etc. But I post new paintings when I have them - and now I believe that if my followers aren't seeing my paintings every day, but maybe once a week or even once a month, they might actually even get more excited, waiting for the next post with more anticipation!
