Last week, I spent all week in an inspiring workshop led by nationally know artist Carrie Burns Brown. The workshop was sponsored by the Potomac Valley Watercolorists, and I thank them for bringing such great workshops to the area. This was an advanced workshop on color and design, and we also learned many collage techniques. Here is my favorite piece that I worked on.... I have a few more tweaks before  I can call it done, but it's coming along nicely!
